1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 level tsp. salt
1 1/2 level tsp. baking powder
Milk that will mix to a soft dough that will just drop from the spoon

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together twice; add the milk (it will probably take a scant 2/3 cup), mix thoroughly but quickly, and drop by small tablespoonsful into the hot gravy. Cook for 30 minutes before serving time, keeping the pan closely covered until they are done.

Some prefer to cook the dumplings separately and thicken the chicken gravy with a little flour and butter rubbed together smoothly.
