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.
