Preparation

Step 1

Mix together the dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening until crumbly, stir in the buttermilk taking care not to over mix. Allow to stand 5-10 minutes. Drop by rounded tablespoons into the simmering chicken. Bring back to a soft simmer, cook 10 minutes with the cover off, 10 minutes with the cover on. Remove the dumplings to a serving dish with the chicken. If you want to do herbs in the dumplings, stir any kind you like into the dry ingredients then continue. Personal choice here. If you like - and this is REAL Pennsylvania German, eat the dumplings with a little cidar vinegar sprinkled on them.
