I've tried to write a my recipe for chicken and dumplings time and time again and each time I give it to someone they say they had a disaster when trying to make the dumplings. I use flour, salt, chicken broth/stock, baking powder and the dough this makes has to be just the right consistency or the dumplings turn into a big pot of mush. I know, Been there done that, lol. My grandmother actually showed me, I taught my niece, she taught my great-niece but no one has been able to follow the recipe and get it right. Hmmmm! Makes me wonder. LOL Good Luck
