Subj: Old South Easy Chicken & Dumplins
From: RubalH
CHICKEN & DUMPLINS
CHICKEN:
1 small frying chicken
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. blk. pepper
1/4 stick margarine
I know you ain't fryin' it but you still got to use
a fryin' chicken anyway. Cut chicken in
pieces and place in boiler, cover with water and add
salt, pepper and margarine. Cook
until done.
DUMPLINS:
1 1/2 c. plain four
2 tbsp. shortening
1/4 c. water
Place flour in bowl, add shortening and water, stir
in a ball. Roll out on flour board and
cut in small squares. Add to boiling chicken. If you
don't have a flour board, just about
any board will do as long as it don't have splinters.
Makes a serving for 6 unless you got
one that eats like Joe, then maybe 4.

This recipe is one in many that comes from Joe &
Deb's Old South Cookbook. Believe it
or not Joe & Deb are REAL people. They have owned
and operated Joe & Deb's
Resturant in Birmingham, Al. for longer than I can
say, for fear Deb might crown me
with a skillet the next time I go in.
I've become good friends with them over the years, as
have so many others. One reason
is they're fun to be around and another is they make
the most unbelievable onion rings
I have ever tasted. I've been trying to get them to
market the batter and we thought
about offering their cookbook Free along with each
families first order of onion-ring
batter. (Shipped dry. All you do is ad the water, and
of course onions). The cookbook is
good Ol'-Time Southern Cooking and quite entertaining
to read while you're waiting for
the water to boil. Let me know what you think about
this idea. We need all the input we
can get.
Thanks a Million,
RubalH
