Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder , scant
1 tbsp crisco
1 tsp crisco
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
3/4 cup water

Directions:

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!
