Tim McGraw's Chicken and Dumplings

By Tangie2010

This is the recipe that Tim and Faith made on the Oprah show.

Ingredients

• 1 small chicken
• Water
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons butter shortening
• 1/2 cup buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Boil chicken in a pot, adding salt to taste. When tender, pull chicken from the bone and return to the pot,
adding broth.

In a bowl, combine shortening and flour, mix together with a pastry cutter, then add buttermilk to form a doughy
consistency (similar to how you would make biscuits).

Sprinkle flour on cutting board. Pinch off part of the
dough and roll into a thin sheet and cut into squares. Drop one square at a time into broth. Continue this until
all of the dough is used. Add salt and pepper to taste and simmer until tender.

Allow the dumplings to thicken the broth for 2 hours until it is a creamy consistency
