6-8 small Potatoes (whole)

½ c. flour

½ c. milk

Salt and Pepper to taste

 

Directions:

Cook potatoes until fork tender on Med. high heat. (Do not cook until they get mushy. Also, Do not Drain Potatoes.) In a bowl, mix together, Flour and milk and blend smoothly. (Note:  You can use a pint jar and shake the flour mixture together if you prefer.)

Country Chicken n’ Dumplings:

4-5 Chicken legs (with lots of fat)

2½ c. flour 

Ice water

2 Tbsp. Butter (You may put a little more if you desire)

Salt to Taste

 

 

Directions:

Cook chicken in water for about 1 hour. While the chicken is cooking, mix flour and ice cold water together and mix as if making thick biscuit dough.  Add water little at a time and do not put too much water in the flour or it will become sticky.  On a floured surface roll out dough thin with rolling pin or a floured glass jar and cut into long strips. You can either take a knife and cut the strips into 1 inch squares or you can pinch them off by hand and roll each piece in some extra flour and place onto a plate. Sprinkle some extra flour over top of the dough balls to prevent them from sticking together and set aside. When chicken is done, remove chicken from broth and place in a bowl and let it cool.  Set broth on Medium High heat Then tear chicken into pieces or chunks and carefully add them to the chicken broth. Next add butter and salt to broth. I found that lots of butter make the dumplings taste better and have more of a yellow color. Now, slowly drop the dumpling balls in the broth a few at a time and stir them in.  Be sure to let some of the flour fall into the broth with them to create gravy in the dumpling broth. Stir in all dumpling balls or squares and cook for 10-20 minutes and you may also check a dumpling with a fork to see if the middle has been cooked through.  Add more salt to taste if need be and black pepper can also be used for taste.

When Meat is cool enough, tear meat into pieces or rake apart with a fork.  Next, Measure out the broth by cup fulls and ever how many cups you have of broth, is how many brown gravy pkg. you will need to use.  It will be 1 pkg. of gravy per cup of broth.
