2. pt. mixed vegetables
1 pt. cut off chicken
5 Tbsp. flour

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
3 tsp. sugar

Directions:
In a large saucepan, mix together broth and flour.  Add a little water if needed to make a gravy consistency.  Heat until boiling.  Add vegetables, chicken, salt and pepper.  Add chicken base to taste, if desired.

To make biscuits, sift dry ingredients together; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Add milk all at once and stir just until dough follows fork around the bowl.  Drop by spoonfuls on top of rest of ingredients.  

In a 9x13 baking dish, layer chicken-vegetable mixture.  Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls on top of the chicken mixture.  Bake in 450 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
