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.
