How To Make light and fluffy dumplings

• 
  Step 1
  Stew your own chicken for the broth or use ready made chicken broth. Put 4 cups of the chicken broth (reserve 1 1/2 cups for dumplings), the stick of butter, and the poultry seasoning in a large pot and have this SIMMERING on medium low heat on the stovetop.
• Step 2
  Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl. Add the reserved 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth and mix. The dough will be sticky.
• 
  Step 3
  Mound the sticky dough onto heavily floured cutting area and sprinkle the top generously with more flour. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• 
  Step 4
  Now roll out the dough to a 1/8 inch thickness and let rest for another 15 minutes.
• 
  Step 5
  As I cut into squares, I cut and scoop up each dumpling and place in the simmering chicken stock. The extra flour from the dumplings will thicken the broth.if
• 
  Step 6
  DO NOT BOIL or they will fall apart! Add all the dumplings as you gently separate them in the stock. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.
• 
  Step 7
  Serve as a side dish or if you like, add cooked chicken for chicken and dumplings. Yum Yum!
