3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. (1/4 c.) shortening
1 c. water (or more)

Use a lot of flour on board and roll dough to about 3/4 inch thickness. Cut into diagonal or square shapes. Keep a lot of flour on them. Put into a pot of stewed chicken which has a lot of broth. Cook in covered pot for 10 to 15 minutes. The flour on the dumplings adds to the thickening of the broth.
