Stewed Clams

Put twenty-five clams into a hot pan and stew five minutes, then add two tablespoonfuls of butter, dust them with a tablespoonful of flour, add six whole pepper-corns and stew gently for ten minutes. Then add a half-cupful of cream and the well beaten yolks of two eggs. Take from the fire and season with pepper and salt.
