Chicken and Dumpling 

• 1 Hen

• 1 cup plain flour

• 1 cup self rising flour

• 2 TBSP. Vegetable shortening cold water

• 4 or 5 hard boiled eggs 

Boil hen under tender (may use large fryer but hen is better). Remove from broth and cut into chunks. Salt and pepper broth to taste. Drop meat back into broth.

Mix Flour and add shortening. Mix with a  small amount of cols water until medium dough consistency and refrigerate about 2 hours. Knead real well until it is spongy and rolls out easily without tearing.

Roll out very thin. Cut into 2 inch squares and drop in chicken broth. Cook 20 to 25 minutes.

Drop sliced boiled eggs into pot and add enough milk to get consistency

Heat just until hot.
