Fricassee Of Chicken

Skin the chickens (two), cut them up and boil. Take a quart of milk, add a little parsley, onion and pepper, boil and strain it, then return to the fire. Rub a tablespoonful of butter with a tablespoonful of flour thoroughly together and stir into the milk, and let it boil until the consistency of soft custard. Beat the yolks of two eggs and pour the milk into it, stirring all the time, then add a wine glass of sherry wine. The dressing must not be boiled after the eggs and wine are added, or else it will curdle. -Mrs. Trotter, New York City.
