Answers:
Making chicken and dumplings is easy, but time consuming! Here's how I make mine (nope! no 'real' recipe!)
Boil chicken in water (duh!) (whole pieces, cut-up, whatever, so long as the skin is ON) in a kettle until very tender and some of it falls off the bone!. This can take about 1-1/2 hours or more, depending on how much chicken you're doing!. I add salt & pepper to the water, sometimes add poultry seasoning as well!.
Drain chicken using a strainer on top/over a large bowl, conserving the water (which is now your chicken stock!)!.
When chicken cools enough to handle, remove chicken from bones!. Be sure to also discard skin, gristle, any other icky stuff!.
Reheat the chicken stock in a kettle - you'll probably notice the fat on top!. Don't discard it - it's what makes chicken and dumplings taste so good! You can remove some of it, but you really do want this! Add your chicken!. Heat on med/hi until it boils - you don't want it all the way up on high!. You can also add additional seasonings if you think it needs it (taste it first to see what it needs!)!. I also add a little dried parsley just so there's some interesting looking green stuff in it!. (Make sense!?!?)!.
While you're waiting for the chicken & stock to boil, make your dumpling batter!. All you need is some self-rising flour and milk!. If you don't want to go that route, you can always use Bisquick!. ;o) There is no hard and fast rule on dumpling batter, just dump some SR flour into a bowl, add quite a bit of milk - you're wanting a consistency gooier than that of biscuit dough - it's very thick and sticky - not dry enough to handle with floured hands like making biscuits from scratch!.
Using a spoon, just drop spoonfuls of the batter into the boiling kettle until it looks like the top of the mixture is covered!. Put a lid on the kettle and boil until fluffy!. (About 15 minutes) They'll still look gooey on the outside because the boiling broth has gotten on it - but it's ok - they'll be fluffy on the inside!. The flour also thickens the broth!. For leftovers, simply reheat in the kettle (or smaller pot)!. If you need more dumplings to go with your leftovers, just make up some more dumpling mixture and toss it in when it gets to boiling!.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
Ice water
To start the chicken: Place the chicken, celery, onion, bay leaves, bouillon, and House Seasoning in a large pot!. Add 4 quarts of water and in water and bring to a simmer over medium heat!. Simmer the chicken until it is tender and the thigh juices run clear, about 40 minutes!. Remove the chicken from the pot and, when it is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and separate the meat from the bones!. Return the chicken meat to the pot!. Keep warm over low heat!.
To prepare the dumplings: Mix the flour with the salt and mound together in a mixing bowl!. Beginning at the center of the mound, drizzle a small amount of ice water over the flour!. Using your fingers, and moving from the center to the sides of the bowl, gradually incorporate about 3/4 cup of ice water!. Knead the dough and form it into ball!.
Dust a good amount of flour onto a clean work surface!. Roll out the dough (it will be firm), working from center to 1/8-inch thick!. Let the dough relax for several minutes!.
Add the cream of celery soup to the pot with the chicken and simmer gently over medium-low heat!.
Cut the dough into 1-inch pieces!. Pull a piece in half and drop the halves into the simmering soup!. Repeat!. Do not stir the chicken once the dumplings have been added!. Gently move the pot in a circular motion so the dumplings become submerged and cook evenly!. Cook until the dumplings float and are no longer doughy, 3 to 4 minutes!.
To serve, ladle chicken, gravy, and dumplings into warm bowls!.
Cook's Note: If the chicken stew is too thin it can be thickened before the dumplings are added!. Simply mix together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water then whisk this mixture into the stew!.
