  • “very good, easy and quick, put over hot chicken soup for a wonderful meal.kids couldn’t get enough!”

  • “I confess, I was out of the Biscuit Mix that I normally use to make Chicken & Dumplings. So I whipped up a batch of these dumplings. I am so impressed! These came out so light and fluffy with the perfect texture. I added 3/4 teaspoon of chicken bouillon powder and “my standard” 1 well beaten egg to the batter. I will make these again…soon!”

  • “Sorry…forgot the stars…My new favorite dumpling recipe…added them to stew, and was asked by my family why I didn’t make a few more…best compliment I can give this review…thanks for sharing this recipe.”

  • “I don’t know if I did something wrong, but most of my dumplings came out chewy. Does the consistency of the broth make a difference (mine was a little thick)? Also, it doesn’t say when to add the milk, so I added it after I cut in the shortening. I’ll try again some time.”
