This is a Chicken and Dumplings recipe I put together using two old recipes I found in a very old cook book.
I found this to be very tasty but the drop dumplings were a little big.
So, the next time I make drop dumplings, I will use a smaller spoon, probably a teaspoon would work better?
My wife did not care for the drop dumplings so next time I make this I will roll out the dumplings and cut them into thin strips. After comparing these drop dumplings, thin strips how she said she likes them best.
Make them according to your taste. I like them both ways. I was raised on drop dumplings for years.
My mother did start rolling them out in strips as we got older and I liked them also!
