1/3 cup shortening
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup milk
Combine flour, baking powder, salt,
and shortening with a fork until shortening is mixed in. Add milk a little at a

floured surface until dough is smooth. Generously flour a surface and roll the
dough out to 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough into small strips. Flour generously to

chicken broth if needed. While simmering, prepare the dumplings. Remove chicken
bones and skin and strain the liquid. Return liquid to pot and add vegetables
and chicken. Gently add dumplings to broth. Simmer 15-20 minutes.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and cocoa; add to the butter mixture,
then knead until you have a smooth dough. Form the dough into a disk, wrap in
lightly oiled plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
Heat oven to 360 degrees. Butter

floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/10 inch thick. Fit into tart pan, trimming
dough around the edges.
Spread the jam on dough and bake
for 18-20 minutes. Transfer the tart pan to a wire rack to cool. Remove the
shell from the pan.
Place the chocolate in a heatproof
bowl. Bring the cream and corn syrup to a boil and pour it over the chocolate.
Mix until you have a smooth, velvety cream. Let it cool and pour into the tart
