GRANDMA'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.
• Slightly beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.
• Place chicken into a large pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove chicken from the pot; strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon. Remove meat from bones and return to broth. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

GRANDMA'S CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS (PRE 1917 RECIPE)

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a crock pot and pour water up to the top of the crock pot (or a level where it wont boil over but cover chicken completely) Add onion, parsley and salt. Cover and let cook all day on low without stirring. If you don't stir the chicken is much easier to de-bone.
• De-bone chicken and move broth to a large stock pot. Cook on high until boiling. (making the dumplings in the meantime).
• Add de-boned chicken to broth then add dumplings one at a time while broth is boiling so they don't clump together until all are added. The broth will froth a little but it will go back down. Stir occasionally if needed.
• (I add 1 tbls corn starch mixed with 1/4 cup cold water to thicken when needed. It does not always require it. Depending on how much broth you have. I like it a little creamy instead of watery.)
• Dumplings:.
• Mix all ingredients very well. (let dough rest about 1 min before rolling out) Roll out on floured surface to desired thickness. I do it kinda thin to get more dumplings. They puff up as they cook. I use a pizza cutter and cut about 1 inch strips then the same the opposite direction. Kinda like a checkerboard pattern.
