Despite being armed with my grandma's recipe and having been shown the process by my mom, my chicken and dumplings do not compare. What is the trick here?
Red, I am not sure here. I have my Mom's recipe but have never tried to make (go home for that!:grin but I have to call her after work anyways and I will ask her for some tips and let you know!
my immediated guess if you are talking about the dumplings is dont overmix the dough. just mix it enough to moisten the ingredients. overmixing will work the gluton in the flour and the dumplings wont be as light.
and might i add, great. now i am craving chicken and dumplings just like i am home made fried chicken. :hihi:
Might consider yourself a threat in the hen house for the next week or two. :grin: Run Chickens, Run...
My grandmother took plain canned biscuits, and rolled them out flat like a pizza dough, but much thinner. Then you cut them into strips. No worries about dough ratios, because its already been done for you. By the time everything simmers together, I giarantee you that you won't be able to tell the difference.
