2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. shortening
2 eggs
1/3 c. milk

Mix ingredients until well blended. Drop dough by a teaspoon measure into boiling water or beef or chicken broth. Place lid on pot, lower heat to keep broth at a medium boil. Boil 20 minutes. DO NOT LIFT LID because this will make a less tender dumpling.
