Chicken N' Dumplings Comfort Food

1 (4 to 6 lb.) hen
water to cover
salt and pepper
2 1/4 c. Bisquick
2/3 c. milk or water
1 stick margarine
1/2 c. flour

Wash and clean hen well. Place in large pot and add water, salt and pepper. Cook until tender. Remove from broth onto platter and allow to cool until can be handled comfortably. Remove meat from bones, discarding all skin and fat. Cut meat into bite-size pieces and put back into broth after most of fat in broth has been skimmed off. Add margarine and
more salt and pepper if needed. Bring back to boil and lower heat.
Mix Bisquick with milk; form into a large ball. With well floured hands, pinch off walnut size pieces of dough, dip in flour and drop into simmering broth. Use as many dumplings
as needed. (Any left over may be baked as bread.) Cover and simmer until dumplings are no longer "doughy" in center (15 to 20 minutes).
