Put a little butter all over the chicken and dust it with pepper, salt, and flour. Place it in a baking-pan with a cupful of water and bake it for thirty minutes, basting it frequently.
SMOTHERED CHICKEN
Put a chicken prepared as above in a pan, cover it with a second pan, and set it in a hot oven for fifteen minutes, or until browned, then turn it over, add a cupful of water, cover it again with the pan, and cook until tender.
CHICKEN FRIED IN CREAM
Fry a few pieces of salt pork until crisp. Remove them from the pan and put in the chicken, which has been cut into pieces and the skin removed. Sauté the chicken in the pork fat until it is cooked and browned, then turn over it a cupful of cream in which has been mixed half a teaspoonful of mustard and the chopped white and crumbed yolk of a hard-boiled egg. Stir them together for a minute and serve.
