Over high heat, bring cooker up to pressure.

Combine the ¼ cup milk and cooking oil; add to flour mixture, stirring just until combined.

9

Quick-release the pressure.

10

11

In a small mixing bowl stir together the ¼ cup flour and the ¾ cup milk; add to the pressure cooker.

12

Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.

13

Drop dumpling batter from a tablespoon to make 4 mounds atop bubbling chicken mixture.

14

Cover loosely (do not lock lid) and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center of dumpling comes out clean.
