Cracker Barrel The Homeade Chicken and Dumplings that Pansy made for dinner the other night.
Very good and very easy.
I amde a couple of changes. Of course I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose for the dumplings. I cut the milk in half and when I released the dough onto my floured cutting board to roll out, I just used lots of flour and patted it down to 1/2 and inch thickness instead of rolling it out.
I also used boneless, skinless thighs for the chicken. Much easier to work with.
Why did you have to make dumplings when you've got a whole mess of them running around your ankles all day?
Yeah, just cook one of your children for dinner.
Chickens is crazy....
Referencin' Cracker Barrel Chik'n n' dumplins has made me lose all respect for this blog.
Ned,
I adjusted the post a bit. Will you respect me again now?
Oh ... yeah ... mmm mmmm ... those look like some mighty fine dumplins ... I bet them dumplins sop up gravy real nice! Man, nothin like soppin' up that good ol' country-style gravy!
One time, my pappy made some dumplins but, boy, them things just wudn't sop right! I said "these there biscuits ain't soppin OK ... I been soppin with these for 10 minutes and look at how little they sopped!"
It ain't unusal to hear somebody yellin:
"hey, how them bisuits soppin today ... or ... pass me some a them sop ... or stop soppin! ... or ... mind if I stop to sop? ... or ... sop til ya drop! "
I feel like I'm missing out on some staple food here. I've never ever had Chicken and Dumplings. I'll have to try this. :)
