I love squirrels any way you can fix them. I see you like dumplings, but they are very easy to make. My mom made homemade dumplings all the time, so I learned from an expert.
Lots of people are really fussy when it comes to dumplings. Mom made hers really thin, and she liked them "tough" and you can take that many ways.
I can also make them like that altho not as good as hers, but they ain't bad.
Now, what I'm getting to is an easy way for you to get all the dumplings you want, and this is as easy as falling off a log. For the "tough" thin dumplings, get you a package of the flour tortillias at Wally World. Cut them in thin pieces, or the size you want, drop em into the boiling or hot dumpling mix with your squirrels. This is so easy, and they are really about as homemade as your gonna get, unless you make em from scratch like my beloved mom.
This is the other way, and I really like em this way, too. Altho my family turns their noses up at me about this type. Buy you some canned biscuits and they come in small or big or big big ole biscuits. It really don't matter. Open the can, put the whole biscuits on a sheet of wax paper with a lil bit of flour sprinkled on it. Take your dough roller and thin them down as thin as you like, and cut them into quarters or halves, throw them into the pot. I love them this way, too.
Hope this helps you, I'm getting hungry, so I'll go scratch up some biscuits or make a country boy dinner.
Best to you. I watch RFD TV with the Cumberland Blue Grass on Sat. nites coming from Rosine, Kentucky, ole Bill Monroe's homeplace. Really like it, you guys have a beautiful state. Now, go get some of them big ole fat Fox squirrels and cook you some dumplings.
Best,
