List of Ingredients




1 fat hen, whole or disjointed
7 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
Yellow food coloring

Dumplings:
11/2 cups flour
2/3 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon oil or melted shortening


Recipe



Cook hen whole or disjointed in 11/2 quarts of water seasoned with salt. Cook for about 3 hours.

When tender, lift out of the broth and cool. Pick meat from bones and cut in small pieces. Thicken broth with 7 tablespoons flour and 3/4 cup water. Mix smooth with an egg beater. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add a few drops of yellow food coloring. Strain over chicken. Reserve 4 cups of gravy in a flat stew pan for the dumplings. Bring to boil when ready to cook dumplings.

To make the dumplings, sift dry ingredients into the blended egg, milk and oil and stir briskly until blended. Drop dumpling batter by teaspoonfuls into the boiling gravy. Cover and cook gently for 8-10 minutes or until done.
