Preparation
Step 1
Boil the chicken until done, skin and de-bone and set aside the meat. Add pepper to broth to taste.
Step 2
Mix the flour and salt, and work in the butter.
Step 3
Add enough Sweet Milk to form a hard dough.
Step 4
Roll out the dough on a floured surface and sift with flour to ease cutting and thicken the broth. Cut dough into small lengths. While doing this, bring broth back up to a boil.
Step 5
Drop into the lengths of dough into boiling broth. Cook dumplings WITHOUT a lid or your dumplings will be gummy.
Step 6
Add meat back into broth and dumplings.
If using a fryer instead of a hen, add a can of cream of chicken soup, or a can of chicken broth, or a chicken bouillon cube.
If you want softer dumplings, add 1/2 tsp baking powder to the dumpling mixture.
