Chicken 'n Dumplings

Boil fryer until tender. Remove from broth and set aside to cool. Mix dry ingredients.

Cut in shortening.

Add beaten eggs and enough milk to make a stiff dough. Roll out really thin on heavily floured board.

Cut into pieces (pizza cutter works great!).

Drop into rapidly boiling broth.

Cover and simmer on very low heat for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove skin and bones from chicken and pull into bite size pieces.

Add chicken to pot and season to taste with black pepper.

I pour about a cup of sweet milk in pot just as it's finished cooking.
