Easy Basic Chicken and Dumplings

This is a super basic recipe. This is really just the Dumplings and the Sauce. If you want vegetables and more spices, dried or fresh you can add them. This is that home-made dumpling recipe and you can modify and add to this recipe as you see fit!

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups cooked chicken
  • 6-8 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt to taste (I just shake some in)
  • 1 cup of milk, maybe a bit less
  • Rolling pin
  • Pizza cutter
Directions:
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt
  • Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender
  • Stir in the milk, mixing with a fork until the dough forms a ball
  • Heavily flour a work surface. You’ll need a rolling pin and something to cut the dumplings with. I like to use a pizza cutter.
  • Use a small spatula to lift the dumplings off the cutting surface
  • Roll the dough out thin with a heavily floured rolling pin
  • Dip your cutter in flour and cut the dumplings in squares about 2″x2″. It’s okay for them not to be exact. Just eyeball it. Some will be bigger, some smaller, some shaped funny
  • Use the floured spatula to put them on a heavily floured plate. Just keep flouring between the layers of dumplings. If they will be cooked soon, this method works well
  • Cooking at a later date - Layer them on a cookie sheet with wax paper between and lots of flour
  • You can also freeze them like this and then transfer them to a ziplock bag
  • Bring the broth to a boil
  • Drop the dumplings in one at a time, stirring while you add them, the extra flour on them will help thicken the broth
  • Cook the dumplings for about 15-20 minutes or until they not doughy tasting
  • Add the cooked chicken to the pot and stir it up
Enjoy!

What do you think about this recipe? This is real close to what my mom makes and nothing is better than mom's chicken and dumplings :) Making dumplings is always a challenge have you mastered it?

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
