Directions
• In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a fork or pastry blender. Stir in the milk, mixing with a fork until the dough forms a ball. • Roll dough out on a floured surface. Cut dumplings into squares using a pizza cutter. Be sure to keep dough floured to keep dough from sticking until ready to cook. • Bring chicken broth to a boil. Drop the dumplings in one at a time, stirring while you add them. The extra flour on them will help thicken the broth. Cook them for about 15-20 minutes or until they not doughy tasting. Add the cooked chicken to the pot. Serve with cooked or steamed vegetables, and warm bread. Enjoy!
In hot fat in a skillet, sauté uncooked macaroni, onions, peppers about 10 minutes or until macaroni turns yellow. Stir in tomato juice, salt, pepper and Worcestershire, bringing to a boil over high heat. Turn heat low and cook covered without stirring 20 minutes.
