An Old Friend; Dorsey Marshall was the Pastor of a church I once attended. Dorsey is a great speaker, and motivator. His sermons can bring a tear to your eye, or have you rolling on the floor with laughter, but always have everyone in the room reflect on the Gods Love and how important God is in your life.
However, Dorsey has been known to be long winded on occasion, but he would often make it up to those who regularly attended a wonderful treat of an invitation to dinner at his and his lovely family's home.
Not only can Dorsey make you cry during his orations but he is one of the best cooks that I know, and I'm sure his wonderful culinary creations have brought many to tears they are sooo delicious.
He has been making contributions on Facebook and offering a Bi-Weekly Article in his Notes called the 'Success Minute'. These little nuggets of truth and motivation are always a word in time and I enjoy them.
However, when Dorsey posted a pie recipe last week I asked him if he would consider writing his recipes on a regular basis...he never answered, but low and behold the following recipe was up on Facebook this morning.
Thanks Dorsey, I can't wait to try the recipe this Sunday. Billy's sister is coming with her husband and children, this will be a recipe they will all enjoy!
Happy Easter!
DORSEY'S SLIPPERY DUMPLINGS
This is a recipe I have used that was created by my Mother when I was a kid. We had Chicken & Dumplings for every Sunday Dinner. I like to use a fresh "old hen" for the best broth.
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 Cups All-purpose Flour
• 2 T. Crisco Shortening
• 1 t. Salt
• 1/2 Cup Hot Tap Water
DIRECTIONS:
1. Blend flour, salt & shortening until the mix looks "mealy"
2. Slowly add water and mix until dough forms a soft ball. (I use a food processor)
3. Empty onto a well-floured board and roll out until about 1/8 inch thick. Sprinkle flour over strips to prevent sticking. Then, cut into 2-inch strips and cut again into 2-inch squares
4. Drop squares into hot boiling broth and cover and cook about 15 minutes on top stove or 30 minutes in 350 degree oven. Broth should make nice smooth gravy. These dumplings are great for chicken, beef and pork chops
5. This recipe will feed about 4 people, unless they are real “dumpling-maniacs” like me. ENJOY!!!!

now if you want them real slippery and true to home old fashion Pocomoke dumplins, forget the water and replace that with the chicken or turkey broth. It makes a world of difference.

Dorsey and Pat are friends (son Jeff is a good friend)and all I have to say is if you haven't had his Cream Chipped beef, you aint lived...
I have know the family for many years. Dorsey baptised my husband and children.
They're good folks who can cook like nobody's business.
Thanks for sharing!
