FRIED PHEASANT 
1/4 lb. butter
1/2 med. size onion
1 qt. milk or cream
2 c. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
2 tbsp. flour and 1/4 c. milk for gravy thickening

After birds have been thoroughly cleaned and singed, cut up into pieces as you would a chicken. Dust pieces in flour to which has been added salt and pepper.

Brown on both sides in butter. Add milk or cream and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until tender. For a cooking variation, add 1 small can of condensed cream of mushroom soup to the quart of milk or cream.

Remove pieces from frying pan or electric skillet to prepare gravy. Thicken liquid with a batter or 2 tablespoons of flour and 1/4 cup of milk. Allow to simmer to desired thickness.

Also can be used for rabbits and squirrels.
