Directions
Chicken and Dumplings, With Potato Dumplings, Here in the Southern US we pronounce it “dumplins”. This is a staple as I grew up, if you want the very basic recipe just leave out the optionals. A very comforting dish. My Father makes this without the options and uses canned biscuits, which is what I grew up on., I find the dumplings are better when used mashed potatoes mixed into the dough ingredients., Sorry, I forgot to give you the stars. I added sage like my mother did. YUM!!Thanks for the dumplin recipe!

Optional-I Like to Place the Bones Back Into the Broth and Simmer Slowly, Covered For Another Hour Then Remove or Strain Broth Through a Colander, This Is Optional but Will Richen the Broth. |

Make the Dumplings, Mix Dry Ingredients, Shred Potato to 3/4 Cup Softly Packed, Then Squeeze Out as Much Liquid as You Can, Add to Dry Ingredients and Mix Well With a Fork. I Like Fairly Dense Dumplings, For Fluffier Dumplings Add 1 Teaspoon More Baking Powder.. |

Add the Milk and Butter, Mix Until Just Blended, Sometimes Because of the Potato I Have to Add a Tablespoon or So of More Flour, You Want Biscuit Dough Consistency. |
