INGREDIENTS

  • Dumpling

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup shortening
    • 🥛 1/2 cup milk
    • 🥚 1 egg

  • Chicken and Broth

    • 🍗 1 whole chicken
    • 2 cubes chicken bouillon
    • 2 cups chopped celery
    • 🥕 2 cups chopped carrots
    • 🧅 1 small onion, chopped
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • 🧂 Ground black pepper to taste

STEPS

1

Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.

2

Slightly whisk milk and egg together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.

3

Place chicken into a large pot and add water until just covered. Bring to a boil over high heat, then continue to boil until no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour.

4

Remove chicken from the pot. Pull meat from bones.

5

Strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon cubes. Add shredded chicken, celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.

6

Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil until dumplings are cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
