Some Chicken & Dumplings from scratch. I took a whole chicken and cut it into 8 pieces, and took out the backbone. I took the wings, the backbone, the chicken neck, some garlic 7 some onion and tossed them in a pot and cooked them down. I then added water a bay leaf and the rest of the chicken. i cooked this for about 35 minutes, or until the chicken was just done.
I reserved the broth and striend it through a cheesecloth to get out any impurities. I set this aside and worked on the dumplings. Basic flour, eggs, milk, water, butter, salt, black pepper, baking powder version. Combined, refridgerated, then rolled out and cut into squares. i dig dumplings this way(growing up i only was exposed to the spoon dropped style which I did not care for, but i enjoy now). Like a pasta noodle.
I brought the stock to a boil, added some steamed carrots and celery, and the chicken I had picked off the bone. I added the dumpligns quickly, reduced heat to a simmer and covered and cooked the dumpligns until done, about 11 minutes.
Great version, great on the first night, stellar after a night in the fridge.
