Recipe type: Dumplings
Ingredients
  • 3 Cups Flour
  • 1½ Tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 1½ teaspoons Salt
  • 6 Tablespoons Crisco or cold Butter
  • 1 Cup Milk + 2 tablespoons
Instructions
  1. Add the dry ingredients to a medium mixing bowl, then stir well to combine. Cut in the Crisco or Butter till the size of peas. The mixture will be crumbly and that's ok!
  2. Add the milk and stir just till combined. You should have a lumpy batter that's thicker than cake batter but not so thick that you can knead it like biscuit dough. Add a bit more milk or a bit more flour to get it to the consistency you need.
  3. Remove the top from the pot of chicken. Add enough water to completely cover the chicken.
  4. Turn up the heat to high and bring the broth in the pot to a full boil. Now drop in the dumpling dough in LARGE dollops on top of the chicken and vegetables. By large dollops I mean about ½ cup of dough per dumpling.
  5. Immediately put the lid on tightly, turn heat to medium-low and do NOT peak for 15 minutes.
  6. Check the dumplings for doneness after 15 minutes. If they still look a bit soft on top, cover and cook another 5 minutes.
