DUMPLINGS

Ingredients:

4 large celery stalks
1 onion
1 cup carrots
1 cup bisquick mix
1 cup self rising flour
2 cans swanson chicken broth
2 tsp dried chives
1 tsp parsley
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup milk
3 tbs butter
1 tbs vegetable oil
2 tbs flour
pepper
garlic salt

Slice celery, onion, and carrots. Mix bisquick, self rising flour, chives, parsley, and 3/4 cup milk. Add vegetables to oil and butter over med high heat. Add garlic salt, pepper to taste. Saute until vegetables are almost tender. Add 2 tbs flour and 1/2 cup milk. In large pot pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add sauted vegetables to boiling chicken broth. Add in by spoonful your bisquick mix. Cover tightly and simmer for 10 minutes.

*Instead of using self rising flour you can use 2 cups bisquick mix instead. I only had 1 cup of bisquick left and had to improvise. The self rising flour made huge fluffy dumplings though. ;) I got huge praise from my mother who told me that she's had a lot of dumplings in her day and mine were by far the best she's ever had even over her aunt's from back in the day. I'd like to thank Rachel Ray for making a similar recipe on her show last week and making me want to make dumplings.
