Ingredients
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • milk
  • onion powder
  • garlic powder
  • white pepper
  • chicken bouillion
  • whole cut up chicken
  • water
  • salt
  • small diced onion
  • 2 celery stalks cut into 1/4" pcs
  • 2 carrots cut into 1/4" pcs

Directions
  1. Boil chicken in salted water until tender and falling off bones
  2. Save water, ('you'll use it for boiling dumplings') and bring to a boil
  3. Put chicken on large dish and cut off meat and transfer meat back to boiling water.
  4. Add 2-4 tsp bouillion (2 tsp per quart of water) or 2-4 cubes of bouillion to water
  5. add onion, celery and carrots
  6. To make dumpling batter: In separate bowl mix flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp white pepper, 1/2 tsp onion and 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp chicken bouillion granules and 2 eggs and milk as needed.
  7. Mix well until it gets to noodle/pasta consistency, sticky/dry, add more flour or milk to attain consistency. Not critical, but not sticking to the sides of the bowl either.
  8. with a tablespoon drop full spoons of batter into the boiling water until all batter is used up. boil about 15 minutes
  9. dumplings will not fluff up or rise and they will be firm/hard to the bite, yummy and delicious!
  10. Serve chicken and dumplilngs in bowls along with a nice green salad and nice Crusty Rye Bread!
  11. These dumplings are equally good with a boiled pork /sauerkraut or beef roast dinner substituting beef bouillion when used with beef.

This is nice! I like my dumplings hard, too! Somehow, that sounds a little bit naughty!


BTW, I'm giving you my 5.


This sounds very delicious. I love dumplings firm and with a bite to them. I look forward to trying this - thanks for sharing!


I'm looking forward to trying this wonderful recipe. I love the ones that have been passed down from generation to generation. :)


How much flour am I using? It doesn't tell...I love my dumplings like this too. Thanks, --Kn0x--


Hey, I've never had non-fluffy dumplings before! But these sound WAY better - love the spices & eggs & bouillion. Can't wait to try this ... it'll be perfect for these cold & stormy New England nights!


I KNOW MY HUSBAND WILL LOVE THIS. I DON'T MAKE DUMPLINGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALWAYS TASTED KINDA DOUGHY. I WILL GIVE IT A TRY.


Sounds great...:)


Y'all know how to put it together. This recipe sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing with all of us.


Okay, getting ready to make this on Sunday. How much water am I cooking the chicken in? And how long will it need to cook until it's falling off the bones? And before you ask, yes, I am embarrassed that I don't know this.


Looove chicken and dumplings. = )


Mmmm... its still chilly here, I think I'll have to make these soon. my grandma would be proud


My grandfather taught me this recipe. He didn't add the spices,, but now I'm going to. We did add just a little baking powder, but trust me they were not fluffy. Now I have to go buy a chicken. Thanks for the memories. L.
