  Whisk remaining sour cream with 1/2 cup cold water until smooth. Place flour in a bowl. Make a well in the centre. Add sour cream mixture to well. Using a butter knife, stir until dough just comes together. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently to form a 2cm-thick round. Using a 5cm round cutter, cut rounds from dough, re-shaping scraps to cut more rounds. Place dumplings, just touching, on top of the chicken mixture.
