To make a white fricassee of chicken, remove skin, cut them up into
pieces of desired size. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and mace, and
strew over the pieces some shredded marjoram. Put them into a stewpot, and
pour over them the cream, or whole milk. Add some butter rolled in flour,

flame. Keep it tightly covered, and stew or simmer it gently till the
chicken is quite tender, but do not allow to boil. Serve hot.
