Chicken and Dumplings
Chicken Base (however much you want I like a super rich broth so I use a lot)
Chicken on the bone (any kind you want, we use legs and or thighs)
2 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of Baking Powder
1 teaspoon of salt (or more to taste if it isn't salty enough for you)
1 cup of milk
4 tablespoons of flour
I get a large pot and put the chicken in it and cover with water, add the chicken base to it and bring it to a low boil. While it is cooking I mix my dough. I put all the rest of the ingredients into the mixer with the dough hook and mix it adding a little more flour here and there to make it not sticky and pliable. CHeck on your chicken and see if its cooked. If it is take the chicken out to set aside to cool. Now some people at this point will take the dough and roll it and slice it into noodles. I take a bowl of flour and my mixing bowl to the stove pinch off some dough, drop it in the flour and hand form the noodles. The dumplings will rise to the top when cooked.
