Ingredients:  
Chicken pieces
water to cover (or chicken broth)

2 c. + 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. whole milk
pepper

1 T. butter
1/2 c. heavy cream
Directions:
Directions:
In a stockpot, combine chicken and water; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to simmer and cook until chicken is tender, 45 minutes to an hour. Remove the chicken from the pot and reserve broth. When chicken is cool enough to handle, pick the meat off the bones, discarding the skin and bones.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper. Stir in milk and mix well. Bring the broth back to a slow boil and drop the batter by tablespoonsful into the broth. Gently shake the pan. NEVER stir the dumplings with a spoon, for this causes them to break apart and become a big mess! Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook gently until dumplings are cooked through, about 15 minutes. (Check by sticking a toothpick in them; If it comes out clean, they're done.)
In a small saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook 1 minute; whisk in cream and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cook until mixture thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
When dumplings are done, add cream mixture; Shake the pot gently. Add meat and shake pot gently until all are incorporated. Serve and enjoy!
