CHICKEN AND ROLLED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Special equipment: 7-quart pressure cooker
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of the salt together in a medium mixing bowl. Rub the shortening into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk, 1-ounce at a time, just until you have a rough ball of workable dough. Knead the dough 3 to 4 times, until it is mostly smooth, but do not overwork.
• Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll out each piece of dough, using a floured rolling pin, to a sheet about 1/16-inch thick, on floured piece of waxed paper or parchment paper.
• Cover the dough, still on the waxed paper or parchment, with a tea towel, and dry for at least 8 hours. This can be done the night before or early in the morning.
• Two to three hours before the dumplings are ready to cook, put the hen, water, and the remaining tablespoon of salt in a 7-quart pressure cooker. Do not fill above the cooker's "maximum fill" line, or 2/3 full. Cover and lock the lid. Bring to pressure over high heat, approximately 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, so that you barely hear hissing from the pot. Cook for 45 minutes.
• Release the pressure using the cooker's release device (read the manual!) or cool the cooker by running cold water over the lid for 5 minutes. Open carefully. Remove the hen from the broth and set aside to cool. The meat should be tender and falling away from the bone. Once the hen is cool enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones in small pieces, cover and set aside. Discard the skin and bones.
• Set a cheesecloth-lined colander in a large container and pour in the broth, discarding the solids. Taste and season the broth with additional salt, if needed. Return the broth to the pressure cooker, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle boil.
• Cut the dough into 1/2-inch wide strips, break into 1 1/2-inch long pieces, and drop into the boiling broth. When all the dough has been used, gently push all of the dumplings down into the broth with a slotted spoon. Do not stir the dumplings. Cook the dumplings until they are cooked through, but not falling apart, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the meat. Serve in bowls with freshly ground black pepper.

ROLLED EGG DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Add the flour, salt, garlic powder & chopped chive if desired to a medium size bowl. Then add in the room temperature eggs.
• 2. Add in the extra virgin Olive oil and water and whisk together with a large fork or whisk until dough begins to come together.
• 3. Shape dough into a ball, then divide in half.
• 4. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on work surface, enough excess flour to prevent dough from sticking to surface. Then add half of dough to counter, flour rolling pin, and roll out dough to desired thickness about 1/8 inch or so.
• 5. Then with a pastry cutter, knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into long 1 inch wide strips or as desired. Then cut across strips to make squares into desired size pieces.
• 6. I prefer to separate my strips by alternating the direction that I place them on a plate or platter, before I start to drop them into the hot pot of chicken stock.
• 7. Once I have them all cut, I start dropping them into the pot of boiling liquid, and stirring frequently to prevent them from sticking together.
• 8. Once they have all been added to the pot, then I add the remaining ingredients and continue to cook for about 20 additional minutes. Taste and add additional spices if desired.

EASY CHEATER ROLLED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Mix bisquick and flour according to directions on box. I use my KA to knead the dough until it leaves the side of the bowl and is of a smooth consistancy.
• 2. Roll out on a lightly floured surface until dough is about the thickness of a pie crust.
• 3. Cut into strips or squares. Let them set until they dry out some. (I like to leave mine out at least 6 hours or overnight.)
• 4. Drop in boiling broth, one at a time, until dumplings are gone. You may want to reduce the heat to medium if the dumplings start to stick to the bottom of the pan.
• 5. Stir gently a couple of times so the dumplngs will not stick to each other.
• 6. After about 10 minutes, turn the heat off. Let them set for another few minutes before serving.
• 7. I always make a full box of bisquick dough for my clan, but I always feed at least 25 from this. I also use 4 or more quarts of broth. If you let the dumplings dry completely they freeze well.

CHICKEN AND ROLLED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Boil stock ingredients for 45 minutes to an hour until chicken is 170F internal temperature and remove to cool.
• Strain stock and de-fat or refrigerate for use later.
• Remove chicken from bone and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• For the dumplings, cut the shortening or butter into the flour using a fork or pastry cutter until it's well distributed and in small pieces.
• Add milk and mix with a fork until well mixed.
• Turn out onto a floured board and knead a few times (skip this step if just making biscuits). Roll out to about 1/8 inch thick on a floured board and cut into stips about 1.5 inches wide and anh length you like. If the dough resists rolling by springing back, wait 5 minutes and roll again.
• To make the dish, return the stock to a boil and add chicken and then the dumplings one at a time. Season with salt and pepper to taste and thicken if necessary with a slurry of flour and milk or water to desired thickness. Carrots and celery can be added as well as green peas if desired.

CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS (ROLLED DUMPLINGS)

Steps:

• Add chicken, water, and salt to a 6 quart Dutch oven or stock pot , bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium-high and cook until chicken is well done. (about 40 minutes).
• Remove chicken from pot, and let cool a few minutes. Remove skin and any excess fat and discard. Remove bones from breasts and chop meat into bite size pieces. Return chicken back to pot. Add pepper and more water if needed. Return to a boil.
• While chicken is cooking, make dumplings.
• Mix flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and 1/4 cup evaporated milk and mix dumpling ingredients just enough to form a stiff dough. Add more flour if necessary.
• If using more than 3 eggs you will need to increase the flour and salt accordingly. Otherwise dough will be too wet to work with.
• Pour out onto a floured surface. Knead dough 1 or 2 times, being careful not to overwork the dough. The dough becomes tough very quickly, so handle as little as possible. Dust dough and rolling pin with flour. Roll dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.
• Cut into strips about 3/4 inch by 3 inches with a floured knife. Let rest until ready to add to boiling chicken. Add dumplings to boiling broth a few pieces at a time, so that dumplings don't stick to each other. Add remaining evaporated milk to pot.
• Cook 15 minutes. If broth is too runny, dissolve 3 Tbsp flour into 1/4 cup hot water until there are no lumps. Add to dumplings and cook another 5 minutes. Serve.

ROLLED POTATO DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• Cover potato with cold water by 1 inch in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until potato is just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, then cool on a plate at room temperature at least 4 hours, or chill, uncovered, in refrigerator overnight.
• Put flour in a large bowl. Peel potato, then force it through food mill into flour. Add egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt and knead lightly in bowl until dough just comes together. Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. (Dough will have consistency of a soft cookie dough.)
• Roll dough into a 12-inch log with your palms on a lightly floured surface and cut into 24 (1/2-inch) pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then roll each ball into a 2-inch-long log with tapered ends and curl into a crescent. Transfer crescents to a plastic-wrap-lined baking sheet.
• Bring 2 1/2 quarts water to a boil with 1 tablespoon salt in a 13- by 9- by 2 1/2-inch (3 1/2- to 4-quart) metal roasting pan, straddled across 2 burners. Add dumplings 1 at a time and, when first few dumplings rise to surface, reduce heat to a bare simmer and poach 5 minutes (do not let boil). Transfer dumplings with a slotted spoon to a large bowl of ice water and let stand 1 minute. Drain, then pat dry with paper towels.
• Heat butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then sauté dumplings, turning over once with a spatula, until golden brown, about 7 minutes total. Sprinkle with pepper, nutmeg, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.

CHICKEN & HERB ROLLED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. This dish starts out with lots of flavor by using lots of chicken, garlic, onions & celery soup, because I was out of fresh celery.
• 2. Begin by seasoning the chicken pieces with the steak seasoning and granulated garlic. If chicken is frozen just add pieces to a large pot, cover with water and add in the spices. Place pot over medium high heat, cover with lid and bring to boil, then lower heat and allow to simmer.
• 3. Mince the cloves of garlic, and chop the onions and shred carrots & add to the pot as well. Then over a medium high heat, continue to cook the chicken parts until tender. About an hour to 1 and a half hour.
• 4. When chicken is fully cooked remove to a large platter and allow to cool.
• 5. When cool enough to handle remove & discard the outer skin bones and cartlidge, set chicken aside till needed.
• 6. Prepare the dumplings by combining the flour with the herbs and spices. Then add in the eggs and olive oil, and stir with a spoon or spatula. Then add in the chicken stock and stir until dough comes together.
• 7. Liberally dust the counter surface with extra flour. Divide dough into 2 pieces, then roll each half on counter into a long rectangle shape.
• 8. Then using a pastry cutter or knife cut dough into long strips, then cut into opposite directions creating one and a half to two inch pieces.
• 9. Alternate the dumpling pieces onto a platter and repeat until all the dough has been cut. In the mean time cover the chicken stock with a lid and bring to a rolling boil. Then drop dumplings into hot stock and stir occasionally to prevent dumplings from sticking. Repeat until all the dumplings has been added. Then add in the boneless pieces of chicken.
• 10. Cover the pot with lid and return to boil and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, dumplings will rise to the top of pot. add a few pats of butter if desired, adjust seasoning after tasting if desired, then serve while still hot.

CHICKEN STEOUP & ROLLED EGG DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• 1. Wash chicken parts, and add to a large pot, cover with water & add bay leaves. PLEASE NOTE: I USE MORE MEAT THAN MOST COOKS, BECAUSE MY HUSBAND IS A MEAT LOVER, you can use a lot less if desired.
• 2. Chop celery and onions and add to pot along with minced garlic, steak seasoning and garlic powder & thyme.
• 3. Place pot over medium high heat and cook for about and hour or so or until chicken parts are tender. Skim any foam from top of chicken as it cooks.
• 4. While chicken parts are cooking, peel and slice carrots.
• 5. Once chicken is tender remove parts with slotted spoon to a large platter. Discard bay leaves. Allow to cool. Add the sliced carrots, and cook slowly while you debone the chicken. Skim off the excess fat from stock pot & discard.
• 6. Once parts are cool enough to handle remove the skin and bones & discard. Cut parts into bite size pieces. Then set aside till needed.
• 7. To prepare the dumplings add the flour, salt, & garlic powder, chopped chive if desired, to a medium size bowl, add in room temperature eggs, and extra virgin olive oil. Then add in the water and blend together with a fork until dough comes together. Shape and divide dough in half. Work with half of dough at a time, by sprinkling a small amount of flour over counter top, and also rubbing some over rolling pin, then roll out dough to about 1/8 inch thick then cut into strips and then cut strips into squares into desired lengths.
• 8. Drop dough into hot boiling liquid & allow to cook uncovered for about 20 minutes. I cut all of the dough into strips , and alternate on a plate or platter to pull them apart easily, before I begin to drop them into the hot stock pot. You will need to add additional flour to the work surface to keep the dumplings from sticking to surface or each other, for ease of removal from work surface.
• 9. Add chicken back into pot, along with frozen veggies, and continue to took till dumplings are tender. Taste to see if more spices are needed.
• 10. If you want your steoup to be much thicker, combine 2 tablespoons of wondra flour with 1/2 cup water, stir to blend together then pour into pot, and stir, cook for about 5 minutes, if it still is not thick enough repeat using the remaining 2 Tablespoons flour and half cup water. Stir until desired consistency is reached. Some of the ingredients used to make the egg dumplings, shown with the wondra flour. I will post a separate step by step picture instructions for making the egg dumplings.
