My mother made wonderful fluffy dumplings with chicken, but both
 my brother and I would vote for my dad to make these dumplings;
 much to my mother's dismay.
 We liked the chewy dumplings best!  This was more than 60 years ago!
 2 cups flour         
 1 tsp. salt
 1 tsp baking powder  
 3 Tbsp. shortening
 3/4 cup milk
 Sift flour, salt, and baking powder together:  Rub in shortening
 with knife or finger tips.  Add milk to make a soft dough.  Roll
 out very, very thin on a floured board.  Cut in squares.  Drop
 separately into gently boiling liquid (chicken stock etc.) and cook
 15 minutes.  Do not cover.
