CHICKEN PIE. Cut up two chickens, put them in stew-kettle with barely enough water to cover them. "When the chicken is boiled tender, make the gravy of two tablespoonfuls of butter and one of flour, and the yolk of an egg mixed smoothly together, and stir into the water the chicken was stewed in. Line the sides of a deep dish with paste, lay in a small teacup bottom upwards. Put in the stewed chicken with the gravy, and add if you like, some oysters, three or four hard boiled eggs
