My wife uses my great grandmother's recipe for chicken and dumplings. In true Southern fashion it calls for a "lump of shortening or lard the size of a chicken egg". The dough is rolled thin and cut before going into the simmering broth. For us, chicken and dumplings are the meal accompanied at most by some cornbread.
