Ingredients

• 1 medium Frying Chicken cut up into pieces and boiled
• 1 1/2 cup Flour all purpose
• 3 Tbsp. (small egg size) Butter or Margarine
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1 tsp. Baking Powder
• 1 Egg
• small amount Milk

Directions

Boil Chicken in just enough water to cover until tender. Let cool, then debone. Reserve the broth leftover from the boiling.

Fold the Butter into the Flour, Salt, and Baking Powder until well mixed. Add the Egg, and enough Milk to make a dough for rolling.

Roll the dough out on a floured board and cut intro strips. Drop the strips into boiling broth along with the deboned chicken. Cover and cook "until tender", about 10 minutes.
