Easter Egger - Odd behavior

[Cyprus]

Yup - I typically make chicken and dumplings.

2 C. flour
tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
3 Tbl butter
Buttermilk

Cut butter into flour - add buttermilk to form a dough ball. Roll out on a floured surface to about 1/4" thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut into strips about an inch wide and then about an inch long.

Bring about 2 Qts chicken broth (I use the stock I slow cooked the bird in) to a boil, add dumplings one at a time and cook on a low boil for about 10-15 minutes or until done. Mix a bit of flour in with some hot water and add to thicken as needed.

I know that it is far too late, but I would like to give you my opinion on electrolyte concentration.
I use stock grade electrolytes... I can't find the bag at the moment.
I do not exceed 1 teaspoon per gallon of electrolytes. Really, it should be 1/3 teaspoon.

I like to pick the chicken and put the bones back in the broth for another 30 minutes or so. It really bumps up the flavor.

I do the same - I slow cook the bird overnight, then pull pick the bones clean and break the leg bones before putting back into the broth to simmer for a while. That step makes for a very rich broth that tastes incredible!
