ingredients

6 small pigeons, dressed, washed, pat dry
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons onion, chopped
8 whole cloves
1 carrot, sliced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons celery, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
2 pastry shells, uncooked

directions

Tie legs and wings of the pigeons together with string and close to the body. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in pan and saute pigeons, searing them on both sides.

Cover them with water. Add onion, carrot, parsley, cloves, and celery. Cover and simmer until tender, about 3 hours.

Remove the pigeons and de-bone the meat. Mix flour to a smooth paste with remaining butter. Add this mixture to the broth of the pigeons. Bring to a boil.

Line a well greased pie pan with 1 shell. Add the meat and then the thickened broth. Cover it with the other pastry shell. Bake at 450 degrees F until nice and brown.
