DUMPLINGS



Dumplings image

My mother was one of the best cooks I ever knew. When she made stews we mostly found dumplings in them. We never ate things from packages or microwaves and you sure could taste what food was. That's the only way I cook today - I don't use any electronic gadgets to cook with except an electric stove.

MOM'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (BOTT BOI)



Mom's Chicken and Dumplings (Bott Boi) image

When I was a child my Mother made "Chicken and Dumplings" that were out of this world. They approached Paradise. After I was grown and took up cooking I tried in vain to find "her" recipe. I never developed a taste for drop dumplings.A few months ago I was watching an regional home cooking show on the TV, suddenly there was "Mom's Chicken and Dumplings" on a program about Pennsylvania Dutch cooking. How Mom came by it originally is one of life's mysteries. This is so good, chickens volunteer for the privilege of being part of it.
