INGREDIENTS
•
Base:
•
Stew a chicken. When tender, pick the meat from the bones. Put meat in a large pan with tight fitting lid and add 4 cups of broth. Bring to boil.
•
Dumplings:
•
1 1/2 cups flour
•
3 teaspoons baking powder
•
3/4 teaspoons salt
•
1 1/2 tablespoons shortening
•
3/4 cup milk
•
3 eggs, boiled and sliced

* Another alternative for the dumplin's is to roll them out on a floured surface and cut into strips. Some people prefer this because it makes a firmer, less doughy dumplin'.
