Granny De's Dumplings
Oh my these were good. This is the recipe for Jim’s mom’s homemade dumplings. If she were alive she would have been 117 years old this coming July 29th, 2014.
•1 & 1/2 cups flour
•2 teaspoons baking powder
•2 teaspoons salt
•3 tablespoons shortening
•1/2 cup milk (or enough to make desired consistency)
Mix flour, baking powder and salt together. Cut in shortening. Add milk gradually. May need more or less milk. Should be just a little softer dough than a drop biscuit. Drop in boiling broth and cook covered over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
The grandkids were all wild over Granny De’s chicken & dumplings. For some reason when I make these they don’t taste like Granny De’s. I do better with the Bisquick. I have my chicken cooking in the oven right now.
Funny story about Granny’s recipe. She would never part with her recipes when she was living. After she was gone Jim and I were cleaning out her house and I found the recipe for the dumplings handwritten on a tiny scrap of paper tucked in an old recipe booklet.

It is bright and sunny here this morning at 16 degrees. There is little wind so I walked over to the laundry room without my coat on. We did get snow yesterday, not quite an inch or so but just enough to mess up the side roads. I am not planning on going out today unless the UPS guy leaves me the wrong package and I have to chase him down again. I don’t have anything coming by UPS so I guess I don’t have to think about that.
Have a great week. Stay safe and be happy!!
