Chafing Dish
Lobster à la Newburg
From miss mary crease sears, of Massachusetts, Alternate Lady Manager.
Two good-sized boiled lobsters. Pick out all the meat and cut into one-inch pieces. Place in a chafing dish with one ounce of butter, a pinch of salt and a very little red pepper. Cook five minutes, then add a wine glass of Madeira. Cook about three minutes, then add the yolks of three eggs well beaten with half a pint of sweet cream or milk; cook until it thickens, then serve.
