1 stewing hen
Water to cover
1 c. onions, chopped
Carrots, cut in pieces
1/2 green pepper, chopped
2 c. flour
1 c. ice water
1/4 c. oil (Wesson)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Chicken bouillon granules

Bring chicken to a boil in large soup pot. Put in 1 tablespoon salt. Simmer chicken until tender (a couple of hours) with chopped onions. Remove chicken to cool then take meat off bones. While chicken is cooling make dumplings. Mix and make stiff dough from flour, water as needed, oil, baking powder, salt and bouillon granules. Treat gentle and quickly when mixing (best done with hands). Put on floured surface and roll dough until thin (1/8 inch). Cut in long strips and put into boiling chicken liquid, also add carrots and green peppers. After dumplings have cooked add chicken meat to the stew. This recipe was given to me by Poppa's cousin, Aunt Lila from her cook Mary Lee. She just gave me ingredients and I worked on amounts. It is super on a cold, dreary day. By the way you add carrots and pepper to chicken liquid NOT to dough.
