Batter will be a little stiff. Roll out dough onto floured board. Dough will be firm Roll to 1/8" Let it dry for a minute. Cut dumplings into 1" strips. Drop into boiling pot of chiken.
Note: Mother always used her biscuit dough recipe for dumplings. Don't work them too much and drop by spoonful into chicken liquid. ( I like these better) When in a big hurry I have also used purchased ready made pie dough.
