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...

do you like the puffy dumplings or the heavy doughy ones?

I like the doughy ones myself.

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

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.
