Grandma'S Dumplings From Scratch: 100+ Year Old Recipe

• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder, scant
• 1 tablespoon Crisco
• 1 teaspoon Crisco
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch pepper
• 3/4 cup water

1. 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.
2. Roll out the dumpling dough on a floured surface thin and cut into bite size pieces.
3. 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).
4. 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!
