Title: Grandma Oakes Chicken and Dumplings
Categories: Soup Stew
Yield: 1 Servings

1	tb	Shortening
1/2	ts	Salt
1	ts	Baking powder
2	c	Flour
1/2	c	Ice water; (up to 2/3)

Mix dry ingredients. Add shortening and ice water. May need to add a little flour. Roll on floured surface very thin. Cut into strips about 1 inch by 3 inches.

Cut up one chicken and add to 1 quart of water. Add salt and pepper and half an onion. Boil until done (I like to debone my chicken but Grandma Oakes never did). Lay dumplings on top of broth very gently. Simmer slowly. Move them around with a fork in the juice. Heat 1 cup of milk and pour into pot slowly. Cook approximately 45 minutes or until dumplings are done.

NOTES : Grandma's Hints: Be sure dumplings are thin, baking powder fresh and milk is fresh. Don't forget to warm the milk or it will curdle in the pot and ruin the dumplings.
