INSTRUCTIONS
These are my directions on how to put together: Boil chicken in seasoned
water, I added 1/2 tsp garlic powder, some liquid smoke..just a dribble,
and salt and pepper and boiled the chicken till tender...about an hour.
Scoop chicken out and drain, then take and discard skin...put in freezer to
cool while you make dumplins. To the chicken water, pour in one can or so
of evaporated milk...skip the butter, enough fat from the chicken...let
simmer while you make the dough. put flour and shortening with a dash of
baking powder in large bowl and cut together till crumbly. I used my large
whisk since I've lost my pastry cutter many moons ago...then add just
enough cold water as you need it for a nice soft, non sticky dough. Roll
out on floured surface and roll into thin sheet(s). Cut with sharp knife
into squares. Get your soup boiling and drop the squares in one at a
time...DON'T STIR after adding dumplins..just press. em down a little and
keep adding em in. Let slow boil for about 20 mins.. add the chicken that
you've chopped while the dumplins was cooking...and EAT!!! Hubby doesn't
like garlic, but he sure scarfed these down in no time!!! You can add
veggies now and then..my daughter always liked this recipe with chopped
broccoli..go figure!
