• For the dumplings, cut the shortening or butter into the flour using a fork or pastry cutter until it's well distributed and in small pieces.
• Add milk and mix with a fork until well mixed.
• Turn out onto a floured board and knead a few times (skip this step if just making biscuits). Roll out to about 1/8 inch thick on a floured board and cut into stips about 1.5 inches wide and anh length you like. If the dough resists rolling by springing back, wait 5 minutes and roll again.

• Remove chicken and pour a little water into cooker and loosen any of the pieces of skin stuck to the bottom.
• Replace chicken and cover with water up to about an inch or so from the rim of the pot and add salt & pepper and bouillon cubes.
• Put lid & seal on pressure cooker and follow cooker's instructions.
• Cook chicken 20-30 minutes (the chicken should be falling off the bone).
• Prepare dumplings-mix flour, powder, salt, egg, and bacon grease-dough will need milk-add milk a tablespoon (or less) at a time until soft dough ball forms.
• Splitting the dough in half makes it easier to manage.
• Roll dough onto smooth flour covered surface (I use my kitchen table) as thin as you can before it starts splitting.
• Cut the dough into whatever size you like-they will grown some (I make them about 1 x 2 inches & cut long rows first).
• Place them on a plate to wait to be added to chicken stock.
• Remove chicken and any skin or bones that might have fallen off from the stock.
• Let chicken cool in a bowl until you can handle it safely and remove all the meat from the bones and tear it into small enough pieces to serve.
• Bring chicken stock to a low steady boil.
• Separate as you add dumplins in a few at a time to prevent from sticking together.
• Stir dumplings a few times in between adding to prevent them from sticking.
• Cook dumplings at least 10 minutes to your texture taste. I usually cook them longer so as not to have doughy dumplings.
• Add chicken pieces and bring back to a boil, then remove from heat and serve.
• There is no need to add flour to the stock, the flour from the dough thickens it perfectly.

CHICKEN AND ROLLED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Special equipment: 7-quart pressure cooker
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of the salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Rub the shortening into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk, 1-ounce at a time, just until you have a rough ball of workable dough. Knead the dough 3 to 4 times, until it is mostly smooth, but do not overwork.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough, using a floured rolling pin, to a sheet about 1/16-inch thick, on floured piece of waxed paper or parchment paper.
• Cover the dough, still on the waxed paper or parchment, with a tea towel, and dry for at least 8 hours. This can be done the night before or early in the morning.
• Two to three hours before the dumplings are ready to cook, put the hen, water, and the remaining tablespoon of salt in a 7-quart pressure cooker. Do not fill above the cooker's "maximum fill" line, or 2/3 full. Cover and lock the lid. Bring to pressure over high heat, approximately 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, so that you barely hear hissing from the pot. Cook for 45 minutes.
• Release the pressure using the cooker's release device (read the manual!) or cool the cooker by running cold water over the lid for 5 minutes. Open carefully. Remove the hen from the broth and set aside to cool. The meat should be tender and falling away from the bone. Once the hen is cool enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones in small pieces, cover and set aside. Discard the skin and bones.
• Set a cheesecloth-lined colander in a large container and pour in the broth, discarding the solids. Taste and season the broth with additional salt, if needed. Return the broth to the pressure cooker, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle boil.
• Cut the dough into 1/2-inch wide strips, break into 1 1/2-inch long pieces, and drop into the boiling broth. When all the dough has been used, gently push all of the dumplings down into the broth with a slotted spoon. Do not stir the dumplings. Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through, but not falling apart, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the meat. Serve in bowls with freshly ground black pepper.

• While chicken is cooking, make dumplings.
• Mix flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and 1/4 cup evaporated milk and mix dumpling ingredients just enough to form a stiff dough. Add more flour if necessary.
• If using more than 3 eggs you will need to increase the flour and salt accordingly. Otherwise dough will be too wet to work with.
• Pour out onto a floured surface. Knead dough 1 or 2 times, being careful not to overwork the dough. The dough becomes tough very quickly, so handle as little as possible. Dust dough and rolling pin with flour. Roll dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
• Cut into strips about 3/4 inch by 3 inches with a floured knife. Let rest until ready to add to boiling chicken. Add dumplings to boiling broth a few pieces at a time, so that dumplings don't stick to each other. Add remaining evaporated milk to pot.
• Cook 15 minutes. If broth is too runny, dissolve 3 Tbsp flour into 1/4 cup hot water until there are no lumps. Add to dumplings and cook another 5 minutes. Serve.
