This killed me (near the end): "Maybe that's why I'm so fat...I try everything!" --- Great cooks and Chefs need to try everything, so I support you! Love your efficiency in making those dumplings. Reminded me of my Mom and her speediness. Can't wait to try to make them!

My Mammaw used to make homemade chicken and dumplings. I remember being a little girl and sneaking to the table to snatch a few of the dumplings before they were cooked. She passed last fall, and I never had the chance to learn from her once I was old enough, due to her illness leaving her unable to physically do much. I was nervous to watch this video because I figured it would bring up a lot of emotion, and I was right.. but it’s such a good feeling. You’ve brought back a little feeling of my Mammaw to me. Thank you so much for sharing this. I’d give you a hug if I could.

I miss my mamaw so much.. she pretty much raised me and she passed away in 1999 when I was 21.. it rocked my world and I still have dreams about her.. im absolutely convinced that she visits me in my dreams. But, this lady makes them just like my mamaw used to make them and i'm happy that I found this video.

My husband’s family is from DE and they do the same kind of “dumplins”. Like slick noodles as you mentioned. They don’t add eggs and many don’t use baking powder either. Loved watching you bang that all out f-a-s-t! Would love to be right in your kitchen to learn from you. Love that bowl!

[@joylorah1019]

My grandmother was from Delaware and this was how her and my mother made dumplins

[@shellycalvert5710]

This is how I make my chicken and dumplings, but like a couple of ya'll, I do not add eggs or the baking powder and I let my broth cool some before I roll them out. Can someone please tell me the purpose of adding the eggs and baking soda? I may have to try it! But you know when you've been cooking for 45+ yrs, it's hard to change- "If it ain't broke, you don't fix it!" I LOVE her style though, comfortable in her own kitchen, Mrs. Rita, you are Beautiful just as you are!! Best of Health and Happiness to you and your husband/family💕 #borncountrystillcountryloves1husb♡4~

I roll mine really thin also. love yours also, with a thin broth. Thanks for sharing.

This is the best version of true "southern" dumplings I've ever made! One note, the first time I made it, I kneaded the dough too much and they were a little bit tough. Knead them exactly like Rita does in the video, no more. :)

I enjoyed watching! Reminds me of my mom and her people. Just ole country Cooks! We make dumplings the way you do... Use chicken broth instead of milk, but, I'd say we use a little more baking powder, and I sprinkle a lot of the extra flour on top of my dumplings, and I push the dumplings down instead of stir, and that broth thickens with that sprinkling of flour.

Makes me remember my grandmother. Her father's people were Pennsylvania Dutch and she cooked a lot in that style. The best thin cut noodles. Pastry! She made a potato salad with a cooked sweet and sour dressing. I make it, too. I'm making chicken and dumplings today, but cheating with Bisquick drop dumplings.

Rita, I love your style! You get the job done without a lot of fancy. The dumplings you make are what we call "slickers" back here in the mountains, and a lot of folks make them that way.
