Chicken And Dumplings
- 1 qt. milk (can use instant milk)
- 1/4 lb. oleo
- 1 handful salt
- 4 c. flour (making it thick)
- 1 doz. eggs
- Stir the first 4 ingredients until mixed and melted, then add eggs one at a time, stirring in each one.
- The mixture will be runny, so have your fire low and keep stirring until you start getting it lumpy.
- Keep cooking until it is thick.
- It takes a lot of stirring and elbow muscle.
- (Mixture will turn a dull color so you will know it is done.)
- After mixture is done, take a teaspoonful and dip it in boiling chicken broth.
- Cover; it takes about 20 minutes per kettle.
- (I usually put in about 12 to 18 dumplings at a time.)
- Once in awhile, I will put in that instant chicken broth in my dumpling mixture to give it more taste.
- When I do that, I add about 1 teaspoon of milk.
