Steps:

• 3. Combine flour & crisco, cut in the shortening with a fork or pastry blender, until lumps are the size pf peas.
• 4. Mix in just enough milk until dough leaves sides of the bowl.( I start out with the 2/3 cup and then adjust the amount of milk, as needed).)
• 5. Then turn the heat back up on the tomatoes, just enough to start a low boil.
• 6. I just drop the dough in with a tablespoon. ( I don't roll it out.) Put lid on and cover the dumplings. Keep a eye on them, and you can tell by looking when they have risen and are done. DO NOT STIR IT UP.
