Directions
Mix dry ingredients.
Add shortening and ice water. May need to add a little flour.
Roll on floured surface until very thin. Cut into strips about 1 inch by 3 inches.
Cut up one chicken and add to 1 quart of water.
Add salt and pepper and half an onion.
Boil until done (I like to debone my chicken but Grandma Oakes never did).
Lay dumplings on top of broth very gently.
Simmer slowly.
Move them around with a fork in the juice. Heat 1 cup of milk and pour into pot slowly.
Cook approximately 45 minutes or until dumplings are done.
