CRACKER BARREL CHICKEN N' DUMPLINGS



* Ingredients:

° 2 cups flour
° ½ teaspoon baking powder
° 1 pinch of salt
° 2 tablespoons butter
° 1 cup buttermilk, just under a full cup (you can use regular milk if needed)
° 2 liters chicken broth
° 3 cups cooked chicken

* Preparation instructions:

mix flour, baking powder, salt in  bowl. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a fork or pastry blender. Add the milk and mix with a fork until the dough forms a ball.
Heavy flour work surface. You will need a rolling pin and something to slice the dumplings with. I like to use a pizza cutter. I also like to use a small spoon to lift the dumplings off the cutting surface.
Roll out the dough thinly using a rolling pin sprinkled with flour. Dip the slicer in the flour and cut the dumplings into about 2 x 2 squares. It's OK for them not to be flour. Just eye the ball. Some will be bigger, some smaller, and some funny.
Use the floured spoon to put it in a dish filled with flour. Just keep flouring between layers of dumplings.
To cook it, bring the broth to a boil. Drop the dumplings in, one at a time, stirring as you add them. The extra flour will help thicken the broth. Cook them for 15-20 minutes or until they no longer taste like dough. Add the cooked chicken to the pot and you're done!

Enjoy !
