The ingredients for Mom Gahr's Chicken and Dumplings are:

Soup
~3 lbs chicken (whole or chicken breasts, your choice)
2 large or ½ lb baby carrots, chopped relatively fine
1 lg onion, chopped fine
1 stalk celery, chopped fine
salt, pepper, garlic, chicken bouillon to taste

2 eggs
2 big (3-finger) pinches baking powder
1 cup cooled chicken broth
2 big (3-finger) pinches salt

Here is how you make Mom Gahr's Chicken and Dumplings:

For Soup:Boil chicken in enough water to cover until done. Cool chicken, saving the broth (set aside 1 cup for dumplings). Remove meat from bones (or cut up meat) and place back in broth with carrots, onion & seasonings. Keep tasting the soup until you get a good blend of chicken-y and salty. Keep the soup boiling so the dumplings can cook quickly.For Dumplings: While the veggies are cooking, combine all ingredients and set aside until it's time to drop in the dumplings. The mixture should be gummy, not too thick and definitely not too thin. Do a test dumpling or two by dropping them from a teaspoon into the boiling soup, they will float to the surface when they are done. Taste the dumplings... they should be slightly chewy but not doughy in the middle, they shouldn't be soft and fall apart either. If they are dry and doughy in the center, add a small amount of extra chicken broth or water. If they are soft and fall apart, add a small amount of flour to the mix. Then do a test dumpling and see if they are right. Just keep adjusting until the dumplings have the texture you want. Then just continue dropping them into the soup until you run out of dough. If you feel like you don't have enough in your soup, just mix up some more!Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user OAKBORN.
