Aunt Mabel'S Cumberland City Tennessee Dumplings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. Crisco or butter
3/4 c. hot chicken broth

Preparation

Mix to form soft dough. Roll dough out very thin (1/8-inch) on lightly floured surface.
Cut into 2 x 3-inch rectangles and sprinkle lightly with flour.
Drop dumplings into boiling broth. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat, stirring often, until dumplings sink (about 5 minutes).
Serve with chicken and vegetables.
(I prefer to prepare mine before cooking when I add the salt to the flour mixture.)
