Ingredients

1 1/2 c. flour
3 Tbsp. shortening
5 Tbsp. water
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. salt
1 to 2 tsp. tarragon

Preparation

Mix well. Roll out thin on floured surface.
Let dry at least 10 minutes or pinch off to your liking.
Put into a pot of boiling chicken broth and 1/2 stick butter.
Boil 10 minutes.
Make a roux from 1/2 stick butter and 1/4 cup flour.
Be sure it is good and smooth before putting into broth.
You can add chicken before thickening if you wish; it isn't a must.
