"Flat dumplings"?, ,,,,,,

Yeah, still light and fluffy but rolled out and cut into strips, vs drop dumplings (balls)

Now I was not in this conversation merely overheard it. My mother was giving out her secret and I swear she said “always use a fat yellow hen”. ....

My aunt would always use hens for her C'n'D and would talk about the yellow fat. Schmaltz is a good thing, although I usually skim a few spoonfuls off the surface. Hmm to just sample to make sure the salt and pepper level is just right.
