    Chicken and Dumplings #1

    List of Ingredients




    Chicken with Dumplings
    source: The Fannie Farmer Cookbook


    4 or 5 lb chicken
    2 carrots, sliced thin
    2 ribs celery with leaves, sliced fine
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 1/2 tsp thyme, crumbled
    1/2 tsp rosemary, crumbled
    2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

    Dumplings:
    2 c flour
    3 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp salt
    2 tsp minced parsley
    4 tbsp shortening
    3/4 to 1 c milk

    Recipe





    Rinse chicken and place in a large pot with water to cover. Add vegetables
    and spices. Bring to a boil, then reduce and allow to simmer until chicken is
    cooked.

    Remove chicken, separate meat from bones, and place meat back in
    simmering broth. Discard skin.

    Dumplings:
    Combine dry ingredients and parsley. Cut in shortening until it looks like
    coarse meal. Stir in 3/4 c milk with a fork - add remaining milk if the dough
    will not hold together.

    Drop dumplings by spoonful into pot. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes
    without lifting lid.

    NOTES:
    I find this broth thickens but the dumplings seem to dissolve. The dumplings
    are light and almost biscuit-like.
