Y'all asked or my recipe..
1. make chicken soup. I made a whole roast chicken last week, saved all the bones and leftover meat.
made stock, 6cps, strained that and back into large soup pot.
added small amount suteed veggies plus shreaded chicken, spices, cooked till done, tasted for seasoning. very nice soup!
It was a bit more thick than I usually make because my Mom said, the soft dumplings do better if they steam on top.
2. make dumplings. I bought a Bis-Kit pkg. I think this is Pioneer brand of pre mixed flour with baking powder, etc. Dump the pkg. into bowl add 1/2 cp. milk, per pkg directions, stir up to make a very sticky dough.
I took two spoons and tried to make golf ball sized dumpling and spooned those on top of the hard simmering stew. All looked ok, 6 dumplings total, not touching.
Covered with lid, steamed for almost 30 min. no peaking, I wanted them to firm up.
3. Opened pot, 5 dumplings survived. The other dumpling melted into the soup which was ok, just made creamy soup.
The other dumplings were so soft, I think I got 3 out intact with a spoon.
The meal was ok, but really no dumplings, it was more like soup over grits.
