1 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. shortening

Sift together 1 cup flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add shortening and mix. Add enough hot water to make dough soft, but not sticky. Place dough on floured surface and roll very thin. Cut into squares. Bring water to a boil. Drop dumplings into boiling water and cook 15 minutes. Very good in chicken broth.
