Alternate Dumplings:

1. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir until smooth and let the dough rest for 5-10 mins. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about a 1/2" thickness. Cut the dough into 1/2" squares or strips and drop one at time into simmering stock. GENTLY STIR. Simmer for 20-30 mins until thick.

1. Cut shortening into flour with a pastry cutter or fork. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8" thickness and cut into 2" strips with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Gently drop dumplings into boiling broth. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15-20 mins.
