Recipe Introduction
Makes 8 servings
List of Ingredients
1 (3 lb.) broiler-fryer, cut up
1 Tbsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 medium onion, halved
6 c. water
Dumplings
2 c. self rising flour
1 tsp. salt
2 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. shortening
1/2 - 3/4 c. ice waterRecipe
Combine chicken, onion, salt, pepper and water in a Dutch oven.
Bring to boil, cover and simmer 2 hours or until chicken is tender.
Remove chicken from broth. Cool, bone and remove skin. Add water to broth
to measure 6 cups. Return chicken to broth and bring to boil.
While chicken is cooking, make and chill dumplings. Blend Crisco in flour
with a pastry blender. Add ice water to form soft dough. Turn dough out on
lightly floured board. Kneed gently 30 seconds. Roll dough to 1/8 inch thickness
and cut into 1/2 x 4 inch strips. Place on paper towel-lined shallow pan.
Chill in refrigerator until chicken is tender. Dumplings may be frozen before
putting into boiling broth. Cover Dutch oven, reduce heat and cook 30 minutes covered.
You know...I've bought dumplings in the freezer section at Wal-Mart by "Mary Hill Dumplings" and I have to tell you they're WONDERFUL and they taste every bit as good as Cracker Barrel without the extra fuss of making the homemade dumplings. Very inexpensive too! No one would even know the difference, that's how good they are.
I used to really like dumplings made w/ Bisquick and milk. In fact... I'd make beef stew just to make the dumplings
