Chicken And Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 lb. chicken
2 1/2 qt. water
1 c. milk
1 c. chicken broth
1 egg
salt to taste
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. baking powder
4 c. plain flour

Preparation

Stew chicken in 2 1/2 quarts water.
Simmer several hours. Should have 2 quarts broth; remove skin and bones and reserve meat.
Mix milk, 1 cup cooled broth, egg, salt and baking powder into flour.
Mix and work in flour until stiff enough to roll. Roll out dough on a floured surface, fairly thin.
Cut into 1-inch strips and drop, one at a time into the remaining boiling broth in pot.
Cover and cook (do not stir) until dumplings are tender and done.
