Boil chicken until very tender, remove the meat from the bones, boil the broth until there is about one-half cup, season well with salt and pepper. Put three slices of hard boiled egg in the bottom of a 6 in. pudding pan forming a design; pack in the chicken, and pour the broth over the chicken. Set on ice to cool. Remove from pan whole, and gar-nish with parsley. Mrs. R. L. Ehrhart.
Line a baking pan with dough. Place in it alter-nate layers of chicken that has been par boiled, and thinly sliced raw white potatoes. Sprinkle each layer with a little salt. On last layer put 2 thin slices of breakfast bacon, and moisten the pie with a very little of the broth in which the fowl was boiled. Reserve the remaining broth for gravy. Cover pie with a crust slit in the center, and bake in a moderate oven. Miss Anna Garber.
One large year old chicken 1 lb. of lean ham, 4 medium sized potatoes, salt and pepper. Make the paste first and stand it in a cool place while you prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken as for a fricassee, pare and cut the potatoes into dice, cut ham the same size. Now roll out half the paste into a thin sheet. Butter the sides and bottom of a rounding pot. Line the sides with paste and use the trimmings to cut into squares. Put a layer of chicken into bottom of pot, then a layer of potatoes, then a sprinkling of ham, salt and pepper, and the squares of paste, then a layer of chicken, potatoes, ham, etc. Roll out the remainder of the paste, make a hole in the middle of it, and lay on top of the last layer, which should be potatoes. Pour in through this hole about 1 quart of boiling water, place over a slow fire and simmer continually for one and one-half hours. Half an hour before the pie is done add 1 tablespoonful of butter (cut into bits) through the hole in top crust. Rabbit or squirrel pot pie may be made in the same manner, using 2 rabbits or 3 squirrels.
Joint a spring chicken and let it stew for 15 min-utes. Make a good puff paste and line the sides of a deep baking dish with it; then put in the bottom a layer of chicken and cover well with green corn cut from the cob; season with pepper, salt and plenty of butter. Fill the dish in this manner and add the water in which the chicken was boiled; cover the top with the pastry and bake in a good oven till the crust is well browned, not forgetting to leave an opening in the centre for the steam to escape.
Stew chicken until tender season with one-fourth pound butter, salt and pepper. Line the sides of pie dish with pastry crust. Pour in the stewed chicken and cover loosely with a crust, first cutting in the centre a hole the size of a small teacup. Have ready 1 pint oysters, heat the liquor, thicken with a little flour and water, and season with salt, pepper and butter the size of an egg. When it comes to a boil pour over the oysters, and about 20 minutes before the pie is done, lift the top crust and put them in.
Miss Emily J. Young.
