Nannys Dumplings Recipes

Steps:

• Knead to make a tough dough. (Like really tough)
• Roll out VERY thin. Cut into long strips. Pinch off bite-sized pieces into your hot, bubbly chicken broth/stock. (Yes, you cooked your chicken already and it was happily deboned and cut into nice chunks) and is waiting patiently to be added back in the broth.
• Cook until done (the longer they simmer, the softer the dumpling). Keep taste testing to get the firmnes/softness you prefer. Add in your chicken and serve.

Steps:

• 1. Put 2 glugs of olive oil in the IP, set to saute. Allow to heat and add a few chicken pieces at a time to brown slightly. Remove to a side dish/bowl. Shut off IP
• 2. Add chicken broth and scrape the fonds off the bottom. Add in chicken pieces (big ones on the bottom). Cover with enough water to cover the chicken. Add spices/herbs and stir.
• 3. Set IP for 30 minutes pressure. Natural release, remove chicken pieces with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Allow to cool enough to debone.
• 4. Taste the broth in the IP after removing chicken. Add more spices/herbs if you need to (you won't). Add 1 stick of butter to the broth and enough water to make a good cooking broth for the dumplings to cook.
• 5. See the recipe for Nanny's Dumplings to complete this dish. I cook the dumplings in the broth FIRST....then add in the cooked chicken after. We like it more soupy.....my mother always served this over mashed potatoes. Nanny's Dumplings: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/nannys-dumplings.html

Steps:

• Rinse the hen with cold water, then put into a large pot with the bay leaf and cover with cold water. Let cook over medium heat until it's tender, about 40-45 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside in a bowl-to cool. When it is cool, skin (throw away)and remove chicken from bones, then chop into bite size pieces.
• Skim the fat off the cooking broth, then strain the broth(I use cheesecloth)then return the broth to the pan. Then add the butter and heat/stir till it melts.
• take 1/2 cup of the broth from the pot and add 2 ice cubes to cool. Put flour in a bowl and pour in the cooled broth. Mix well with a fork (Mamma used her fingertips and so do I) to form a dough, add a little more flour if the dough is too wet. Roll out the dough, on a floured board, just a little bit thinner than pie crust. Cut into strips and then into 1 inch pieces
• Bring the broth to a boil, then drop the pieces of dough. DO NOT STIR, the boiling will stir the dumplings. WHen all dumplins are in pot, shake the pot, then sprinkle the chicken pieces on top, reduce the heat to low, place lid on top of pot and do not bother for 10 minutes!

Steps:

• Boil broth, chicken, margarine. Add seasoning to taste. Turn the heat down before adding the noodle dumplings.
• For dumplings: Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together. Beat egg before adding to mix. Add milk and water. Dough will be sticky. On floured surface place dough and knead. Pinch off dough and roll out flat and cut into 1 inch strips. The strips can be long or short. Let them dry slightly before adding to soup. If soup is too thick after adding dumplings, heat 1/2 cup of milk in microwave and slowly add to soup until thin.

Steps:

• 1. Stir together first three ingredients, add enough warm water to make patties and add to boiling water. Simmer for 15 minutes.
