I thought about doing this obnoxious recipe blogger style, because I actually have a whole fic for it, never mind an unhinged personal anecdote, but I think people who follow me who would be interested in reading a Hannibal fic to get to a recipe may actually be in a slight minority. So, recipe more or less by itself, then, and then the fic can have a separate post. :P
My mom "learned" to make chicken and dumplings from her mother, with the scare-quotes because my Gran wasn't ever very interested in teaching other people to cook, so it was more that my mom eventually managed to reverse-engineer Gran's recipe. And because my mother is very interested in and good at making her food accessible to people who want to replicate it, she wrote it down in detail.
It's not difficult, but kind of a lot of work, and I made it at her request for her birthday this year. Recipe posted (with her blessing, and light edits by me) below the cut.
