1 pkg. yeast
8 c. plain flour
2 tsp. salt
8 tbsp. sugar
1 c. Crisco
Warm water (enough to work up dough)
4 tsp. baking powder
1 old hen, skinned

Mix flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl. Put yeast in a cup of warm water. Make a hole in the flour and put in the Crisco and yeast. As you mix, add water until you get the dough worked up. Shape dough into a ball and then grease the bowl so the dough won't stick. Let dough rise until it is twice the size you started with.

While dough is rising, cook, cool, and debone chicken. In a large pot put layer of chicken, leaving an open space in the middle for air and juice to work through. Next, punch dough down and pinching off small pieces put a layer of dough on top of chicken. Alternate layers until all chicken and dough is used. Pour chicken broth in the center and along the sides of pot and cook until done.
