Recipe Thursday

Chicken and Dumplings (from the kitchen of Rocks in my Dryer)

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp. baking soda

3 tbsp. Crisco

3/4 cup buttermilk

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed

2 cups celery

1 cup onion, chopped

at least 4 cups chicken broth (I used 6 cups when I made it)

Bring broth to a boil; drop in chicken, celery and onion. In a separate bwol, mix together first 6 ingredients. Roll dough flat. slice into whatever size/shapre you prefer (I like half-inch-by-hlaf-inch squares). Drop into boiling broth. Allow to simmer until dough is cooked through, usually about 15-20 minutes.

This reminds me of my Grandma Anita's chicken and dumplings, but hers are much better! Love you, Grandma!!
