My Granny is the most amazing woman in the world, and her cooking is nothing short of perfect. Note: Cook time may be a bit off since I have no idea how long it takes to boil a whole chicken. If you can help me with that, please zmail me! :) Ingredients:
1 large whole chicken |
2 cups flour |
1/4 cup shortening |
3/4 cup boiling water |
salt |
Directions:
1. Cook chicken in boiling salted water until tender.
2. Remove chicken from broth. Cool chicken, cut from bone, & set aside.
3. Measure 1 qt broth into large saucepan. Bring to a boil.
4. Put flour in large bowl; cut in shortening with pastry blender or fork.
5. Add boiling water a small amount at a time.
6. Shape mixture into a ball & roll to a thickness of 1/8 in a lightly floured board.
7. Cut into strips. Drop strips into boiling broth and cook for 8-10 minutes.
8. Add salt & pepper to taste. (Granny doesn't use pepper in her dumplings).
