Rolled Dumplings

Try these old-fashioned rolled dumplings the next time you stew a chicken—it will be very hard to go back to ordinary drop biscuit dumplings thereafter.

Recipe Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 cup milk or water
1 large egg, slightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions:

1. Cut shortening into flour with a pastry cutter; add remaining ingredients and mix well.
2. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 2 x 3/4-inch strips (or a desired) with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
3. Gently drop dumplings into boiling poultry or meat broth. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
