Fiction Lovers Old Time Recipes
Do you have a recipe that you love from your grandma's table? Please share it here.
My mother always made homemade CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS. Sometimes she went to the trouble of rolling out the dough and making noodles. These are her instructions: Boil a nice fat chicken until done. For a family, take 5 eggs and break them open into a bowl. Save one of the half shells to use in measuring the cream or condensed milk. If you used 5 eggs, use 5 half-shells of milk or cream. If you used 3 eggs use 3 half-shells full of milk or cream. Add a bunch of pepper and a teaspoon of salt. Blend the egg and milk mixture and add flour a little at a time until the dough is VERY Stiff. After the chicken is done, remove it from the pot and set it to the side. Bring the water to a boil and add a splash of milk or cream to the boiling water. Take a tablespoon of dough and sliver it off into the boiling liquid a tiny bit at a time moving from one side of the pot to the other so they don't stick together. Add a tablespoon in this way until the dough is used up. By the time all the dough is placed in the pot, the dumplings are pretty much done. Let simmer while you debone the chicken and add it to the dumplings. The way Mom made it was wonderful! F
