Method

Simmer chicken in large kettle filled with salted water until tender. Set aside.

Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Cut in shortening; mix in egg and milk. Add more flour if dough is too sticky. Roll out on floured board; cut into strips as desired for dumplings.

Bring broth with chicken to a boil; drop dumplings into broth. Cook until done. Dumplings may be dropped into broth with a spoon if desired.
