    Title: Grandmother's Southern Chicken 'n' Dumplings
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Breads
    Yield: 10 servings

    6 lb Chicken
    2 md Carrots; chopped
    2 Celery ribs; sliced
    1 lg Onion; sliced
    4 qt Water
    2 tb White vinegar
    2 ts Salt

    MMMMM-------------------------DUMPLINGS------------------------------
    2 c A-P flour
    1 1/2 ts Salt
    1 lg Egg
    1/2 c Reserved chicken broth
    1/2 ts Pepper

    Place the chicken, carrots, celery and onion in a large
    Dutch oven or stockpot. Add water, vinegar and salt
    (adding more water, if necessary, to cover chicken).
    Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until
    meat nearly falls from the bones. Remove chicken from
    broth; allow to cool. Strain broth, discarding
    vegetables and seasonings.

    Remove meat from bones; discard skin and bones. Cut meat
    into bite-sized pieces; set aside and keep warm. Set
    aside 1 cup broth; cool to lukewarm.

    To make dumplings, combine flour and salt. Make a well
    in flour; add egg. Gradually stir 1/4 cup reserved broth
    into egg, picking up flour as you go. Continue until
    flour is used up, adding additional broth as needed
    until dough is consistency of pie dough. Pour any
    remaining reserved broth back into stockpot.

    Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead in additional
    flour to make a stiff dough. Let dough rest for 15
    minutes. On a floured surface, roll out dough into a 17"
    square. Cut into 1" square pieces. Dust with additional
    flour; let dry for 30-60 minutes.

    Bring broth to a boil (you should have about 4 quarts).
    Drop dumplings into boiling broth. Reduce heat; cover
    and simmer until a toothpick inserted into center of a
    dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while
    simmering), about 10 minutes. Stir in reserved chicken
    and the pepper.
