This is the recipe I've been looking for. When my Grandmother passed , My Mother got her dumpling recipe and lost it ( a travesty ). This is just how she made hers, a plump non laying hen and all. Thank-you soooo much!!!


Terrific...are you sure your not related to my Grandmother;>)?.... this was comforting and really lip smackin.


I was so happy to find a chicken and dumplings recipe that uses strip dough. To me this is more southern and to my liking versus raised. Thanks.


This sounds wonderful-never had a lot of luck with dumplings, but going to give this one a shot! Thanks!
