1
Place the whole chicken in a Dutch oven and cover it with water, plus about 3 inches.
2
Bring the chicken to a boil over low heat and cook until the chicken is very tender, approximately 2 hours.
3
Remove the chicken from the broth and pull into strips, discarding the skin and bones. Return the meat to the broth.
4
Add salt to the broth and increase the heat to medium, bringing the broth to a boil.
5
In a medium bowl, mix together self-rising flour, vegetable shortening, buttermilk, and cold water to form the dumpling dough.
6
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness.
7
Cut dough into 1-inch strips and pinch off 1½-inch pieces.
8
Drop the dough pieces into the boiling broth, stirring after every few additions to ensure they are submerged and cook evenly.
9
Add cold butter and milk to the Dutch oven, stirring to combine and frequently while cooking.
10
Allow to gently boil for 3-5 more minutes, or until the dumplings are completely cooked.
11
To test for doneness, remove a dumpling, cut it in half, and ensure it is cooked through.
12
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
