Sussex County Slick Dumplings image

In Southern Delaware we like our dumplings thin and slippery so they just about glide down! You must try making these! These are a must have for the holidays! We usually serve these with chicken, turkey, duck and beef. I do know women who also make them to accompany ham. Many a college student returning home request these...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
4 Tbsp shortening, like crisco
7/8 c very warm water

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl mix flour, salt and shortening with fingertips until all lumps disappear. Mixture should look like very fine cornmeal.
  • 2. Make a well in the center and add warm water gradually while stirring to make a soft dough ball.
  • 3. Flour a clean surface. Divide the dough into 3 portions. Take a portion and knead on floured surface about 20 times.
  • 4. Roll into a very thin rectangle. Cut into 3-inch squares and drop one by one into your boiling chicken, turkey, duck, or beef broth. Cook uncovered about 15 minutes. Be sure to stir occasionally so dumplings do not stick together.
  • 5. Remove with a big slotted spoon to a deep serving bowl. I also add about 3/4 cup of broth to the dish as it keeps them hot. Use a smaller slotted spoon to serve them.
  • 6. Note: Some like to sprinkle pepper relish on these as they eat them. I like mine without the relish...my husband likes the relish!

These dumplings were a bit too dense for my taste. They were also a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a big fan of dumplings, but these were actually pretty good. They were light and fluffy, and the flavor was nice. I would definitely eat them again.

These dumplings were just okay. They weren't as fluffy as I thought they would be, and the flavor was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

These dumplings were a bit of a disappointment. They were dry and bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't turn out well. I won't be making them again.
