GRANDMA'S DUMPLINGS FROM SCRATCH: 100+ YEAR OLD RECIPE
Grandma would always make these for us when we were under the weather. She would cook a chicken in a pot with water, carrots, onions, and celery until it was done. Then she would pull all the chicken meat of the bone, and put it back into the broth (she would taste it after the meat was added and then add salt, pepper, and a little parsley). I always sat on the counter and watched her throw everything in a pan without measuring, and they were AMAZING. Finally, I asked her to write it down for me, and I'm glad I did. Posting on here so I never lose this recipe! She always rolled them out thin and used a knife to cut them into pieces. They were never the same shape, but that's how we knew when Grandma made them :) NOTE: Grandma learned how to make these from her mother, so this is the OLD school recipe for dumplings. I am writing it like she gave it to me. Scant teaspoon means a little under the measurement: not quite to the top but not 1/4 less.

Steps:
- Mix the first 6 ingredients together until combined. Slowly add the water until you form a dough. You may have to add more or less water to form the ball.
- Roll out the dumpling dough on a floured surface thin and cut into bite size pieces.
- Drop them one at a time into simmering chicken/broth. She would always drop a few then wait a bit, then drop a few more. She said this kept them from sticking together in the end. After they are all added, give a gentle stir (once or twice around the pot, then leave it alone).
- Let the dumplings simmer in the chicken/broth mixture until they float to the top (about 15 minutes or so). I have let them simmer a longer, and that's fine. She would taste the broth one last time after the dumplings were done for seasoning before we got to eat them!

Steps:
- 1. Beat together milk, salt and eggs.
- 2. Add enough flour to make a stiff dough.
- 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a full boil. Dip a large clean spoon into the water and then drop a large spoonful of dough into the water. Dipping the spoon into the boiling water before each spoonful of dough helps keep the dough from sticking onto the spoon.
- 4. When all dumplings are in the water, cover loosely and cook 20 minutes stirring occasionally.
- 5. Drain, place in a serving dish and add melted butter. Toss to coat.

- Add the chicken to a large pot of water. Add the bouillon cubes, salt & pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, cover with a lid, and cook under chicken is tender, at least one hour. Turn off heat under the pot and transfer chicken to a bowl. Once chicken has cooled, remove skin and bones and tear chicken into bite size pieces and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken broth and sour cream. Mix just enough to combine. The mixture will be wet.
- Whisk the cornstarch into the cup of milk. Add the milk to the hot broth and stir constantly over medium heat until the mixture thickens. This takes about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and taste the broth. Add additional salt and pepper to taste, then transfer the dumplings back to the pot.
