What you need:
2 TBL Butter
4 Cups Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1 3/4 – 2 Cups Milk (pour in slowly until dough is consistency you need)
3 Chicken Bouillon Cubes
4 Large Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
Water
Salt Pepper
How to:
Start by making your noodles.
Add flour, baking powder, butter and salt to mixing bowl.
Piece apart butter.
Mix until well combined.
Now start to add milk a little at a time and mix with hands.
Add until dough is not to sticky but well mixed.
Add more flour little at a time if you add to much milk until you get back to a non sticky dough.
Prepare your rolling surface and rolling pin with flour.
Break dough into 1/3 or 1/4 sections and begin to roll out.
Sprinkle with a bit of flour.
Prepare a plate with flour to lay cut dumplings on.
Use a pizza cutter to cut your dumplings
Lay cut dumplings on flour plate – flour that layer and then at the next layer of cut dumplings to the plate and repeat. Use enough flour between layers to allow your dumplings not to stick to each other.
I prepare dumplings in the morning if I am making chicken and dumplings for supper.
Start chicken approx. 3 hours before you are ready to eat.
Add water and frozen boneless skinless chicken breast to a large pot.
Boil until chicken is cooked through and fork tender.
Water will evaporate from pot – keep an eye on this and add water if/when needed.
Once cooked shred chicken with two forks.
Return chicken to pot.
Now add 3 cubes chicken bouillon and water until pot is about 3/4 the way refilled.
Bring to rolling boil.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Now it’s time to start adding dumplings.
Add one dumpling at a time stirring the pot every 5 or so dumplings.
Continue adding until all dumplings are added to the boiling pot.
Remaining flour on plate dump into pot to help thicken up the dumplings.
Turn temp to med and allow to boil low.
Cook for about 20 – 30 more minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
We love these dumplings!
