Chicken & Dumplings Batter
- Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt) in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer.
- Cut the butter into the dry ingredients, until crumbly and about pea sized.
- Add milk and stir until a rough dough ball is formed.
- Drop heaping tablespoon sized portions of the dough over the top of chicken soup in the crock pot after the 6 hours cooking time. Leave space between the dumplings for expansion.

- Serve and enjoy!
💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes
- Adaptations to this recipe are easily made, including substituting cream of chicken soup for the chicken broth and heavy cream.
- If you happen to be around during the cooking time, stir every two hours.
- Prepackaged biscuits or biscuits made from Bisquick are also very successfully used for equally wonderful results in a pinch!
