Gert's Journey Through Life with Love and Recipes!

Well they are saying we could have rain for the weekend.....sounds like a good day for some comfort food.
I think I will make some chicken and dumplings.  Here is my recipe:

1 whole chicken
2 stalks of celery (chopped)
1 carrot (sliced thin or chopped)
1 onion (chopped)
1 or 2 whole potatoes (sliced)
Cook the whole chicken with the onion, celery and carrot. Cover with water and cook until comes to a boil then simmer for about 2 hours.  Remove chicken from the pot and take the meat off the bones then return to pot with the sliced potatoes.

1 1/2 cups of flour
1 egg
3 tbsp. softened butter
1 tsp salt
Water

Mix the flour, egg, salt and butter. Add enough water to make a dough.   Roll the dough thin and cut into about 2" squares. 
Add to the chicken and potatoes in the pot and cook for approx 20 minutes.

Enjoy!
