Great! I did not let them rest for 8 hours. I used whole milk. I mixed the dumplings in my food processor and then kneaded by hand. I thought 1 hour was enough -- and it was!! During that one hour I cooked my hen in a pressure cooker. I added celery and a small onion to the pressure cooker with the chicken. I will be replacing my current rolled dumpling recipe with Alton's for all future chix and dumplin' meals!!

EXCELLANT! I followed the recipe to a "T" except that I had no "skim" milk. I used whole milk for the dumplings and the outcome was outstanding. (I am a picky eater so this is saying something! One more note I might make, The only pressure cooker I had was our canning unit. I used a lot more water and the broth was so good that my wife and I ended up canning some of it for a later use. Keep it up Alton....You rock!

With added spices to the broth, this was an excellent meal! I have never made dumplings like this. My husband loved it and I enjoyed making it. I just got a pressure cooker and I don't know why I hadn't gotten one before now. Excellent!

These are the best dumplings I've ever had and I only let them dry an hour before cooking them. Based on other reviewer comments, I added lots of spices and aromatics to the chicken stock. It was also delicious and I'm so glad I used the pressure cooker. Everything was finished in 2.5 hours!

I lived in the east when I was young, and I remembered liking chicken and dumplings. All in all, I'd say it this was a success. However, my years spent living in New Orleans has reprogrammed my palette somewhat, so I did think this was a bit on the bland side (even though I used even more black pepper than Alton did. My Cajun wife felt it could have used some aromatic vegetables, and I honestly found myself thinking the same thing. Celery and onion at the very least, while perhaps not traditional, would have seemed like welcome additions to us. We ended up hitting it up with hot smoked paprika and a bit more salt at the table, and things livened up a bit.

The dumplings themselves, were fantastic. Perfect texture. Due to a particularly humid day (did I mention I live in New Orleans?, I ended up flipping the dough halfway through the rest period so that the moist underside would surrender some of its moisture. Turned out perfect, certainly the highlight of the meal.

A very flavorful broth with tender dumplings. My pressure cooker isn't quite as big as it needs to be so I couldn't fit 8 cups of water in with my just over 6# hen. I ended up with 8 cups of liquids at the end but I still added about another cup of water before bringing it to a boil. My 6# hen made a LOT of chicken in the dish. Next time may use a smaller hen and make more dumplings! This is the real deal chicken and dumplings. It says makes 4-6 servings, but we filled 12 bowls and had fights over who got the last dumpling in the pot - grandpa won!

I grew up in the Deep South. This is quite possibly the BEST rolled dumpling recipe that I have ever tasted. Perfectly tender, thin, yummy dumplings. Don't be intimidated by chicken and dumplings EVER again! Thanks, Alton, you always come through!

Mr. Brown, EXCELLENT!!! not you, the recipe. I haven't had dumplings like that since the '80s when my mother made them for us. It also put me in good with my mother-in-law. Thanks so much

As usual, Alton has the recipe for exactly what I need. These dumplings are wonderful, better than any I have tasted. I will definitely make these when I need comfort food.
