INSTRUCTIONS
In a large Dutch oven, combine broth and chicken. Simmer over medium heat,
uncovered, 10 minutes, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Add
carrots, celery, onion, bay leaf, and savory. Simmer, partially covered,
15 minutes. Skim fat off surface of broth. Season with salt and pepper to
taste.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, celery
seeds, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Cut shortening into small pieces and use your fingers to rub it in until
mixture resembles coarse meal. Add milk and stir just until a sticky dough
forms.
Dip a spoon into simmering stew, then spoon out generous tablespoons of
dough and drop into stew to make about 12 dumplings. Cover pan and simmer
over medium-low heat until dumplings are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Remove and discard bay leaf before serving. Typed in MMFormat by Cindy
