Chicken 'N Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 whole fryer
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. shortening
2 eggs
sweet milk

Preparation

Boil fryer until tender. Remove from broth and set aside to cool. Mix dry ingredients.
Cut in shortening.
Add beaten eggs and enough milk to make a stiff dough. Roll out really thin on heavily floured board.
Cut into pieces (pizza cutter works great!).
Drop into rapidly boiling broth.
Cover and simmer on very low heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skin and bones from chicken and pull into bite size pieces.
Add chicken to pot and season to taste with black pepper.
I pour about a cup of sweet milk in pot just as it's finished cooking.
