RECIPE

 

 
  30. White Fricasseed Chicken or Rabbit.

Take your chicken or rabbit, skin it, and cut it into
small pieces ; place them in warm water to draw out the
blood, and then lay them in a clean cloth to dry. Put them
into a stew-pan with milk and water, stew them till they
are tender. Then take a clean pan, put in half a pint
of cream and a quarter of a pound of butter; stir it together
till the butter is melted-you must be sure to keep it
stirring all the time, or it will be greasy. Then with a fork
take the chicken or rabbit out of the stew-pan, and put it
into a saucepan with the butter and cream. Have ready
a little mace, dried and beaten fine, a very little nutmeg,
a few mushrooms ; shake all together for a minute or two,
and dish up. Lamb and veal may be done in the same way.
