Dumplings: 2 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/3 c. Crisco 1 egg, beaten 1/2 c. milk

Dumplings: In a large bowl, mix flour, salt and shortening with a fork. Add 1/2 cup milk; mix to form dough. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on floured surface. Cut into four-inch strips with sharp knife. Drop dumplings into simmering chicken broth. Simmer until dumplings are done. Add chicken to dumplings and 1 cup milk. Cook slowly for 10 minutes.
