In a large bowl; 2 c flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder, add cold broth to mix dough with. Spread some flour on a board & roll dough out thin. Bring broth back to just under a boil. Then slice dough in long sections & cross ways about 3″ and drop into broth. Once all in, put fire down to simmer with lid on, 15 min. Remove lid and simmer 7-10 min. more.
Squirrel can be basted with salt & pepper & butter and put in oven for 15-20 min. Good with dumplings.
