Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Add the milk and mix. The batter should be thick enough to be scooped and dropped from a spoon. Let it rest for a few minutes.
- Once the boiling stew or soup is nearly done, drop spoonfuls of the batter on top. Be sure that there is plenty of liquid in the pot, but try to keep the dumplings on top of the vegetables and meat.
- Cover and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the dumplings. Do not remove the lid until it is time to check the dumplings; when ready, a toothpick inserted into one of the dumplings should come out clean.
- Once done, spoon the stew or soup with the dumplings into a bowl and enjoy.

GRANDMA'S DUMPLINGS FROM SCRATCH: 100+ YEAR OLD RECIPE
Grandma would always make these for us when we were under the weather. She would cook a chicken in a pot with water, carrots, onions, and celery until it was done. Then she would pull all the chicken meat of the bone, and put it back into the broth (she would taste it after the meat was added and then add salt, pepper, and a little parsley). I always sat on the counter and watched her throw everything in a pan without measuring, and they were AMAZING. Finally, I asked her to write it down for me, and I'm glad I did. Posting on here so I never lose this recipe! She always rolled them out thin and used a knife to cut them into pieces. They were never the same shape, but that's how we knew when Grandma made them :) NOTE: Grandma learned how to make these from her mother, so this is the OLD school recipe for dumplings. I am writing it like she gave it to me. Scant teaspoon means a little under the measurement: not quite to the top but not 1/4 less.

Steps:
- 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!

SOUTHERN MOMMA'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINS
This is what I have come up with trying to duplicate my Momma's chicken and dumplins. She is requested to make them at every family function--always. I took the reigns this year in doing all the family dinners so I had to try and measure out what she handfuls.

Steps:
- 1. Boil a whole chicken in lots of water til falling apart. Take out of stock and debone. *Remember that you will need lots of chicken stock for the recipe. No one can make it better than if it is from scratch.
- 2. While the chicken is boiling but mostly done start the batter for the dumplins. You want a large mixing bowl dump 3 1/2 C of flour into the bowl and mix the baking powder and salt til blended.
- 3. Make a well in the middle of the flour and add the 5 T Crisco and 1 C buttermilk, save the rest for if you think you need it. With your hands mix the flour, starting at the sides, into the well until all is mixed and forms a ball. You can add crisco and buttermilk as you go if you think you need it, this recipe is not based on specifics.
- 4. Dust the counter top of your kitchen area with flour. Place a handful of the batter onto the flat surface. Roll to a thin layer adding flour as you need it to roll. A marble rolling pin is best. Then cut into squares and drop in boiling chicken stock. Stir as you go and with each layer sprinkle on some pepper. Repeat this until you are finished.
- 5. Put the deboned chicken back into the pot and turn to simmer. Chop hard boiled eggs and stir into pot. Let this cook for a hour or so stirring constantly at low heat.

DUMPLINGS
My mother was one of the best cooks I ever knew. When she made stews we mostly found dumplings in them. We never ate things from packages or microwaves and you sure could taste what food was. That's the only way I cook today - I don't use any electronic gadgets to cook with except an electric stove.

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (SLOW COOKER VERSION)
This is a favorite recipe originally made by my mother with chicken on-the-bone and homemade broth cooked over a stove. I have found I don't have the time to start from scratch and that this version tastes just as good with less fuss! You can substitute freshly cooked chicken, if desired. You can line the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner for easy clean-up.

MOM'S SOUTHERN STYLE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
This is a truly delicious recipe, but it was very difficult to get the exact amounts of ingredients. It's one of those handed down recipes where mom and grandma just said, "add a little of this and that." Please note that it may not take both cartons of broth. I usually add about 1 1/2 cartons and add the rest if I need to. The...

Steps:
- 1. Cook chicken breasts. Cool and cut into bite-sized pieces, set aside while making the dumplings.
- 2. DUMPLINGS: In a large bowl, mix together flours and shortening until mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add milk a little at a time and mix until it forms a soft dough. On a floured surface, roll or pat out dough to about 1/4" thickness. Cut into small squares using a pizza wheel. Squares do not have to be uniform. NOTE: You may also drop dumplings by heaping teaspoons into broth, but we prefer them rolled out and cut.
- 3. BROTH: In a large Dutch oven, combine broth, soups, and hot sauce and bring to a boil. Add chicken and then add dumplings one at a time and stir very lightly, sprinkle with black pepper. Return to boil and reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes or until dumplings are cooked and sauce has thickened. If sauce is too thin, mix a couple of tablespoons flour and water and mix into a pourable paste. Add to broth to thicken.
- 4. SPECIAL NOTE: It is very important to add the dumplings one at a time. Do not add them all at once or you will have one big clump.
Tips:
- Use a light hand when mixing the dumpling dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
- Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough to become more elastic and easier to work with.
- When rolling out the dough, use a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
- Cut the dumplings into uniform pieces. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Bring the water to a boil before adding the dumplings. This will help to prevent the dumplings from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook the dumplings in a large pot of water. This will give them plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
- Do not overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the dumplings from cooking evenly.
- Stir the dumplings occasionally while they are cooking. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.
- Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through. This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve the dumplings immediately. They are best when served hot.
Conclusion:
Dumplings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make, and they can be made with a variety of different ingredients. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a party, dumplings are a great option. So next time you are looking for something new to try, give dumplings a try. You won't be disappointed!
