Don't trust online recipe converters

Converting a recipe from 8 serving to 4 servings should in theory be easy. It worked well until I got ready to make the dough. Instead of asking for 1 cup of chicken stock, my printout said the original 2 cups. Sigh. I wish I had double checked that before. Anyway, the dumplings in the chicken and dumplings were still good, if a bit sticky. Too much dough (used way more than the called for flour) and enough water for 4 servings does not make for a good broth. Oh well. Live and learn. 

I'm going to take another crack at the Chicken and Dumpling recipe Friday. Not for myself, this time for my grandmother, so I have to get it right! I hope my grandmother can tolerate 8 days worth of chicken and dumplings.
