Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 4 cups chicken broth

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Cut in shortening using a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add milk and stir just until dough comes together, being careful not to overmix. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
  4. In a large pot, bring chicken broth, butter, poultry seasoning, and black pepper to a gentle boil.
  5. Drop dumpling dough by rounded tablespoonfuls into the simmering broth.
  6. Cover pot and reduce heat to low, cooking for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
  7. Serve hot in bowls with plenty of broth spooned over the top.
