I've made chicken & dumplings like this for years. I put butter and a little milk in the broth that i boil the dumplings in. My grandmother (Mubby) used to make dumplings from scratch and I swear these taste just like hers. If i don't have layered biscuits i just cut regular canned biscuits into 1/4s. Yummy!
