INSTRUCTIONS
FOR DUMPLINGS
Dredge chicken parts in seasoned flour, shaking off excess, and put
on a rack. In a large heavy kettle melt butter with oil over
moderately high heat until foam subsides and brown chicken in batches
(do not crowd), transferring it to a plate as done, about 5 minutes
on each side.
Stir in leeks and shallots and cook 3 minutes, scraping the bottom and
stirring occasionally. Stir in carrots, celery, bay leaf, and thyme
and cook 3 minutes. Stir in broth, cider, and chicken and bring
liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered partially, until
chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes.
Make dumplings while chicken is cooking:
Into a bowl sift together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt
and stir in dill. With a fork stir in half-and-half until dough is
just blended. With a large soup spoon scoop out 12 dumplings and
arrange over chicken mixture. Simmer chicken and dumplings, covered,
9 minutes. Sprinkle in peas and cook until dumplings are done, about
3 minutes more. (Dumplings are done when a wooden pick inserted in
center comes out clean.) Discard bay leaf.
Serves 6.
