Rolled Dumplings in Savory Broth

Combine the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, and salt - in a bowl. Use a pastry blender to break down the shortening into the mixture, resulting in a texture that is similar to coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk to the mixture until it reaches a consistency where it can be easily shaped into a stiff dough.

Knead the dough on a surface that has been lightly dusted with flour until it reaches an ideal thickness of around 1/8 inch. Cut the dough into desired shapes, such as squares, diamonds, or strips.

Heat chicken broth to a rolling boil in a saucepan. Gently add the dumplings to the boiling liquid and lower the heat to a gentle simmer, ensuring the cover is tightly closed. Cook until the dumplings are tender, which typically takes between 8 to 10 minutes.
