Boil a squirrel like you would do chicken for dumplins. Make sure it is cooked thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste as squirrel is cooking.

While this is cooking, make some biscuit dough. (2 cups self rising flour, 1/3 cup lard or shortening and 1 cup buttermilk) Get a small amount of dough with fingers and roll in your palms, drop this in the boiling water. I like to thicken this up by adding some of the boiling water to the last bit of the dough mixture. I then add this to the pot of dumplins.

You can add a small piece of hamhock to the squirrel while it is boiling and it gives it a good flavor. Remove this before you add the dumplins.
