3 cups of flour in a mixing bowl, form a well in the middle. Add 2 eggs, work the flour into the eggs with a fork, add one cup of cooled broth, and a pinch or two of salt. Mix with fork until combined. It will be very sticky, not like a smooth dough. Turn onto a well floured counter or board. Kneed just a few times with enough flour to make it workable. Do not overwork or it will be too elastic. Roll out thin, cut into your preferred dumpling size, drop into broth at a rolling boil. Add your chicken meat back in, simmer for a bit, be ready to eat way too much.

Bisquick. My mom made the best drop dumplings ever but I never got the recipe. Later in life I tried several times to duplicate them without success until one day when I tried the recipe on the Bisquick box I had bought to make pancakes. I swear I think she was tricking me all those years because they came out identical to hers cept for the parsley flakes she threw in to throw me off the sent. Try it.....it's simple as hell.....mix some milk and Bisquick per directions....drop spoon fulls in the boiling stew...cook uncovered for ten minutes...another ten with a lid on and wa-la.....the biggest fluffiest dumplings you'll find anywhere. BTW.....as much as I like Chicken and Dumplings my favorite is Beef Stew and Dumplings.

3 cups of flour in a mixing bowl, form a well in the middle. Add 2 eggs, work the flour into the eggs with a fork, I was always told that if you put eggs in, they were noodles, not dumplings. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

We must have done chicken and dumplings here a dozen times. I like drop dumplings. NO eggs in the dough. My version is best. laughing. Chicken and dumplings
Cut up a chicken into it's component parts. Submerge in lightly salted water. Throw in celery tops, sliced onions and carrots. Bring to a boil, and then simmer for a couple of hours. You want the meat to literally fall off the bone. I pull out the veggies at that time, and discard them. I add fresh celery, turnip, carrots, and more chicken broth if needed. Cook the chicken and veggies another half hour or so, and then top with the dumplings.
I make these with two cups sifted AP flour, three teaspoons baking powder, half teaspoon salt, and a cup of milk. Some folks like to add in a bit of fine diced onion and some chopped parsley. You want a fairly soft dough, and you don't want to work the dough a lot. Drop the dough on top of the still bubbling broth with a large spoon. This will give you fairly large dumplings. Cover, and cook another 15 min or so. If you like, turn the dumplings over after about 10 min.
the pot is a cast iron 5 quart. I disjoint the bird, and debone the breast. I leave the legs, thigh, wings all bone in. The mark of when its all done, is when the meat just falls off the bones. I cook the carcass in another pot with more onion, celery and carrot. I want the extra stock, and the flavor needs to match the pot I am fixing the dish in. The veggies I leave in large pieces. The carrots, turnips and celery can be in chunks, not a fine dice.
The dough is NOT biscuit dough. There is no fat added for the dumpling dough, as it would be if you were making biscuits. I keep the broth topped off to about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the pan. This covers the meat, but leaves enough room for the dumplings to expand when they cook. I always turn the dumplings over once, about 10 min into the time it takes to cook them.

1,1/2 flour, 3tb shortening, 2 tp baking powder, 1 tp salt, 3/4 cup milk. That is what my wife did. I was a bit late in town. The dish turned out well. What works for you can't be wrong.

An easy way to make dumplings is to use the flour tortilla mix. Just make your dough per directions,roll it out and cut into squares. You can make them as thin or thick as you want.

I like the bisquick ones and don't discriminate against the noodle ones either. But when I make them, I get chicken in gravy or chicken cake.

I’m sure it goes by what your Mom made and called them. These are NOT drop dumplings, and just to go ahead and start the fight, I can’t stand drop dumplings! 😁

Sometimes if I am feeling particularly sporty I will by a roll of them store bought biscuits and use them as pot toppers.

Never thought about that but I'm sure it works. When you think about it dumplings are basically just boiled biscuits.

Charlie, I looked up dumplings a few years ago. Dough cooked in liquid. A German woman friend thinks there are only potato dumplings.

Roll'em out and cut into squares. Dust with some flour and set aide for an hour or so then drop into boiling water being careful to keep them separated so they don't stick together

Agree. (So does bisquick have fat in the mix or do you add it when you make biscuits? I've never used it for biscuits is why I'm asking.)

That could be but it looks like flour to me. Sure makes good dumplings either way. Good enough for me anyway.
Edit.....I just read the box....it says partially hydrogenated Soybean and/or Cotton Seed oil.
Personally I could give a chit....it's easy and makes good Dumplings. That's all I care about.
