Stuffing for Birds

Peel two large onions, parboil them, then drain and chop them fine. Soak one breakfast cupful of breadcrumbs in as much milk as they will absorb without becoming too soft. Put four ounces of butter in a stewpan, place it over the fire, and when the butter is melted put in the onions, breadcrumbs and one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, pepper and salt to taste, add a small quantity of grated nutmeg. Add the beaten yolks of two eggs and stir the mixture over the fire until it is reduced to a paste without allowing it to boil. The stuffing is then ready. It can be made in larger or smaller quantities according to the number and size of the birds to be stuffed.
