Chicken & Dumplings

Instructions

1. 1

   Boil & drain

   Boil the whole chicken to create a fortified, collagen-rich broth; shred the meat and return it to the pot with the vegetables.

2. 2

   Bake through

   Mix the flour, buttermilk, and baking powder to form a wet, sticky dumpling dough.

3. 3

   Drop spoonfuls

   Drop spoonfuls directly into the simmering broth.

4. 4

   Cover tightly

   Cover tightly with a lid and do not open for 15 minutes; the trapped steam expands the leavening agents, cooking the dumplings until fluffy.
