1 (3 to 4 lb.) hen
4 eggs
1 small onion
flour
chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste

Boil hen until tender. Boil eggs. Take 1 cup of chicken broth out of pot and let cool until you can mix dumplings. Do not use any shortening or milk, just the broth of the chicken. Roll out dumplings (made with enough flour to reach right consistency) and cut small. Put eggs, onions and dumplings in pot with deboned chicken and broth. Cook about 10 or 15 minutes slowly.
