Directions: |
Directions:Cook your chicken in a 4 qt. pot with the vegetables (leave them big because you will remove them); salt and pepper to your family's taste.
Cook chicken on medium heat until chicken is done (time will vary depending on size); remove the chicken and vegetables from your chicken stock. Debone the chicken when cool; discard the veggies.
Now make your dumplins:
Work together the flour, salt, and shortening until fine and crumbly. Add the water and work in. Add another tablespoon of water or more if needed to make a smooth, stiff dough (but not sticky). Knead well. Divide into 3 pieces which will make the dough easier to work with and roll, roll really thin, cut into desired pieces/shapes (My family likes strips) and drop into your chicken broth one at a time. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring gently every 5 minutes to keep the dumplings separated and to prevent sticking.
Add your chicken to the dumplins and leave on low until the chicken is heated. |

Notes: This is an old family recipe that Lance's Grandma Hendrix gave me about 40 years ago. I have used it lots of times and it never fails to serve up tender, warm, comforting dumplins.
A recipe that is not shared with others will soon be forgotten, but when it is shared, it will be enjoyed by future generations~N. Ruth Hendrix
