The rooster was killed, scalded, opened and left to soak overnight.
The next morning the chicken meat was cut from the breastbone, scraped quite fine and weighed.
The chicken carcass was put over the heat with 4 L of cold water and 1 tablespoon of salt; this should simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours. The stock was strained and measured, and it turned out to be 1¾ L.
Add the salt to the scraped chicken meat and pound it, preferably in a mortar, for 10 minutes; then pound in the butter, taking about a teaspoonful at a time; once the butter is worked in, begin to thin with the boiled, cold cream, add the mace and boil a test dumpling.
If it is right, boil teaspoon dumplings in a little of the strained chicken stock; that is, the dumplings should not boil, but poach gently in the stock for 5 minutes. From this batch we got 50 dumplings.
Now do not forget to weigh the chicken meat once it is scraped; for you should have 1 part butter to 3 parts scraped meat.
Marks of a young hen: thick feet and knees, a round and fat neck, and a breastbone that is pliable when pressed firmly.
