Welcome to my Kitchen!

As often as possible you will find new recipes, that I have found on the internet, from others and some that are family favorites. Most are easy and use common ingredients found in most kitchens. Not all pictures are taken by me, but I do add my own pictures as soon as I can after I have made the recipe and remember to take the picture. Pull up a chair, help yourself to some coffee and make yourself at home. Please leave a comment, I appreciate feedback. Thank you.

Grandma K's Fricasee

Roll  cut up chicken in flour, fry in oil in frying pan till done, season with salt and pepper to taste.

In dutch oven place about 1 1/2 inches of water salted. Place chicken in and simmer for a bit. Add water to pan drippings as if making gravey, about 2 cups, and stir to get all the goodies off the bottom of the pan. ( no flour though). Pour this into the dutch oven with chicken.


MIX, 2 cups flour
1 t salt
2 Tbl. baking powder
4 clumps of shortening ( about 3/4 cup)
Slowly add milk, about one cup (not too wet, just moisten, the measurement is just a guess ) Dough will be stiff and moist.
Drop dumplings onto the chicken and water by spoonsfull. Cover and simmer on low for 20 minutes. Do not open or the dumplings will fall. They will be light and fluffy.

My family likes the chicken out of the pot. So putting the chicken in is not necessary. This is an old old recipe so the measurements are all a guess. Grandma cooked by sight not measurements. Best of luck. It is really a wonderful entree.
