DANISH DUMPLINGS

This is my family's favorite soup dumpling. The nutmeg makes it so great. It came with my grandmother's side of the family from Denmark. She made them whenever we had chicken soup and we fought for them.

GRANDMA'S DUMPLINGS FROM SCRATCH: 100+ YEAR OLD RECIPE



Grandma's Dumplings from Scratch: 100+ Year Old Recipe image

Grandma would always make these for us when we were under the weather. She would cook a chicken in a pot with water, carrots, onions, and celery until it was done. Then she would pull all the chicken meat of the bone, and put it back into the broth (she would taste it after the meat was added and then add salt, pepper, and a little parsley). I always sat on the counter and watched her throw everything in a pan without measuring, and they were AMAZING. Finally, I asked her to write it down for me, and I'm glad I did. Posting on here so I never lose this recipe! She always rolled them out thin and used a knife to cut them into pieces. They were never the same shape, but that's how we knew when Grandma made them :) NOTE: Grandma learned how to make these from her mother, so this is the OLD school recipe for dumplings. I am writing it like she gave it to me. Scant teaspoon means a little under the measurement: not quite to the top but not 1/4 less.

Time 20m

Yield 1 big pot, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder, scant
1 tablespoon Crisco
1 teaspoon Crisco
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Mix the first 6 ingredients together until combined. Slowly add the water until you form a dough. You may have to add more or less water to form the ball.
  • Roll out the dumpling dough on a floured surface thin and cut into bite size pieces.
  • Drop them one at a time into simmering chicken/broth. She would always drop a few then wait a bit, then drop a few more. She said this kept them from sticking together in the end. After they are all added, give a gentle stir (once or twice around the pot, then leave it alone).
  • Let the dumplings simmer in the chicken/broth mixture until they float to the top (about 15 minutes or so). I have let them simmer a longer, and that's fine. She would taste the broth one last time after the dumplings were done for seasoning before we got to eat them!

Provided by Karena

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Noodle Soup Recipes

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 13

7 pounds cut up chicken pieces
4 cups chicken stock
2 onions, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 teaspoons salt
1 egg
¼ cup milk
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 cup water
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot place chicken pieces and add the chicken stock, onion, celery and 2 teaspoons of the salt. Put heat on medium low and simmer, partially covered, 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is tender.
  • To Prepare Dumplings: In a large mixing bowl beat together the egg and milk. Add 1 cup flour, remaining salt and baking powder and mix all together. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until the mixture is crumbly. Add 1 tablespoon of the parsley and mix. In 6 large spoonfuls, drop dumpling mixture onto the top of the simmering chicken. Cover the pot and let all simmer for 10 minutes more.
  • To Make Gravy: Remove chicken and dumplings to a large serving bowl. Cover and set aside, keeping warm. Strain the stock left in the pot, pressing out any 'veggie liquid'. Return stock to pot. Combine water with remaining flour, then stir into the strained stock. Bring all to a boil, stirring constantly, to thicken. Return chicken and dumplings to pot, combing all gently. Serve with remaining parsley.

GRANDMA'S CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Grandma's Chicken and Dumplings image

This is one of my family's favorite recipes for chicken and dumplings, handed down to me from my grandmother. And the leftovers taste great, too!

Provided by bigred

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Chicken Soup Recipes     Chicken and Dumpling Recipes

Time 4h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup shortening
1 egg
½ cup milk
1 whole chicken
2 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped carrots
1 small onion, chopped
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix flour and shortening together in a bowl until it resembles cornmeal.
  • Slightly beat egg and milk together in a separate bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir to form a ball of dough. Place onto a floured surface; knead and roll as thin as possible using a floured rolling pin. Let dough stand for 2 hours.
  • Place chicken into a large pot and add water to just cover. Bring to a boil over high heat and continue to boil until chicken is no longer pink in the center and meat falls off of the bone, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken from the pot; strain broth and return to the pot. Add 2 cups water and bouillon. Remove meat from bones and return to broth. Add celery, carrots, and onion. Bring to a boil; continue to boil for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut dough into strips, approximately 1-inch wide. Tear strips and drop into boiling broth. Continue to boil for 10 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

DANISH DUMPLINGS

OLD-FASHIONED CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS



Old-Fashioned Chicken and Dumplings image

This is an old family recipe developed by my grandmother, whose arthritic hands would not allow her to roll noodles. Each generation has made small changes to suit their families. A simple and wholesome chicken and dumpling soup.

Provided by Lana Walker

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Noodle Soup Recipes

Time 3h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (3 pound) whole chicken
4 cubes chicken bouillon
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 eggs
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water, and add whole chicken. Bring to a boil, and then reduce heat. Simmer until tender, about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Remove chicken from broth, and set aside to cool. Reserve broth. When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones; cut into bite size pieces. Discard skin and bones.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together flour and salt. Break one egg into flour, and stir with fork till stiff. Continue adding eggs one at a time until all are incorporated. The dough should be very stiff.
  • Bring broth to a boil. Add bouillon cubes; stir until cubes have dissolved.
  • Using a fork and knife, pick up dough on fork. Hold over boiling broth, and cut off small pieces into broth until all the dough has been used. Stir, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Make sure the milk and butter are cold before you start. This will help the dough stay flaky.
  • Work the dough quickly and gently. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help it hold its shape.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips. This will help prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Fry the dumplings in hot oil until they are golden brown. This will help them stay crispy.
  • Serve the dumplings warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Grandma Jones' Danish Dumplings are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or dessert. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious dumplings that will remind you of home.
