Same here.. I have has some really good homemade dumps, but never learned to make it... I was thinking about that the other day while eating someting with chicken, and my wife asked if that was the basics of chicken and dumplings.. I said i didnt know, but i can sure ask the SC. They will hook me up...

OK Cat, finally found this recipe. This is the dumplings i grew up on. Mom got the recipe from an Aunt in port Sulphur. She made a few changes over the years but i'll explain those later. its a two part recipe, chicken,broth and dumplings

Chicken and broth
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
11/2 lbs gizzards cut into halves
5-6 celery ribs cut up @1/2in
1Tsalt
1/2t pepper
1/2t celery salt
Cover all ingredients with 2-3 quarts water
Cover with lid and boil1 1/2 hours
Remove chicken and debone
save 1/2 cup of chicken fat for dumplings
save 2 quarts of broth


Dumplins
2cups flour
1t baking powder
1t salt
1/2 t pepper
1/2 cup chiken fat
2 eggs beaten
1 cup milk
Mix all dry ingredients
mix eggs, fat and milk and combine into dry ingredients
combine into a stiff dough kneed a few times?
divide dough into three parts roll out and cut into strips @1in wide.
cut strips and drop into boiling broth ( must be boilin and drop in individually)
Cover with lid and simmer @15 min.
Add chicken and gizzards simmer another 15-20 mins.
eat

over the years mom did develop a few short cuts. if you want all white meat substitue 4 regular chicken breast (with skin and bones) and 4 skinless breast.
She also resorted to using store bought dumplins as she got older. She was using a red package from the freezer section at wally world. not sure what the name was Kettle?? . They are almost as good.

I've tried this recipe a few time since mom passed but it dont taste the same. i used to ask her what i was doing wrong when somethin didn't turn out right and she would always tell me that I was using the wrong hand to stir with ( she was a lefty) I'm not sure i'll ever get it right ,but i'll keep trying.

Enjoy...SK

Like I said it don't taste the same when I make it. Aint know tellin what else mom didn't add that aint on the recipe. She got this back in the late 40's early 50's. was supposed to be her granmas recipe??... SK

Should give you a start, add what u like. delete what u dont, have fun with it.

it is Kettle dumplings...Mary B's Kettle Dumplings...If you are in a hurry, they are a good one to use...Still, break them in half or thirds and drop individually...I'll have to make my stuff to get the recipe...I usually just cook to taste; don't do recipes...My Granny raised me to do that...:)

Know its not the same as scratch, but at work and in a hurry, I use can bisquits or flour tortillas. Both make edible dumplings, not near as good as homemade, but edible.
