Carefully cut up two terrapins as described in No. 60; place them in a saucepan with half a wine-glass of good Madeira wine, half a pinch of salt, and a very little cayenne pepper, also an ounce of good butter. Mix well a cupful of good, sweet cream with the yolks of three boiled eggs, and add it to the terrapin, briskly shuffling constantly, while thoroughly heating, but without letting it come to a boil. Pour into a hot tureen, and serve very hot.

Terrapin a la Newburg is prepared exactly the same as above (No. 397), only substituting two raw egg yolks for the three boiled egg yolks, and adding two sound, sliced truffles while heating.
