On Sunday night, Emily helped me make supper. We made Chicken 'n Dumplings and Peach Cobbler. Yum yum! All homemade from scratch. Good stuff.
I felt a little bad for Emily because she wanted to play with the dumpling dough instead of cooking with it. I don't think she realized that rolling pins were used in cooking and not just in Play-Doh land.
Here are my recipes:
Chicken and Dumplings
Boil large fryer or 6 chicken breasts and debone. Make sure you have plenty of broth.
Combine in food processor:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 t. salt
- Crisco the size of a large egg
- about 1 cup broth
(Tip! Add everything but the broth to the food processor then add broth only until the dough forms a ball. As soon as it forms a ball, turn off the food processor!)
Roll out very thin. Cut into strips of equal size. (I use a pizza cutter.) Drop into boiling broth then add chicken. Cook on low heat 12-15 minutes.
Peach Cobbler
Mix together the following ingredients to make dough:
- 1 egg
- 1 c. flour
- 3/4 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. margarine
Mix together the following ingredients in a shallow baking dish:
- 1 can fruit
- 1 stick margarine
- 1/2 c. sugar
Spoon dough on top of fruit mixture. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
