good old fashion down home cookin. Ingredients:
1 whole frying chicken |
2 quarts water |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons shortening |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
Directions:
1. Place chicken in a Dutch oven. Add water and 2 tsp. salt. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 1 hour or until tender (should almost fall off bone).
2. Remove the chicken from the broth and cool. Bone the chicken and cut meat into bite-sized pieces. Bring the broth to a boil and add pepper.
3. For Dumplings: Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Cut in the shortening. Add the buttermilk, stirring with a fork until moistened. Knead the dough 4 to 5 times (never done), and pat to 1/2-inch pieces and drop into boiling broth (I do not pat it out, just pinch off pieces). Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the chicken and serve.
4. I make it in the pressure cooker, much quicker and easier. I pressure it for only 30 minutes.
