Ingredients
- black pepper
- cayenne pepper
- salt
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 tablespoon dry mustard
- 3 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 muskrat
- rich milk
- sherry(optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the muskrat by removing musk and washing thoroughly. Place the prepared muskrat in a pot, cover with water, and cook slowly, adding more water if needed. Allow the muskrat to cool, then remove the meat from the bones and cut it into small pieces using kitchen shears. Save the pot liquor and add an equal quantity of rich milk to it.
Step 2
Mash the egg yolks. In a separate bowl, add the dry mustard and flour to the mashed yolks, then gradually stir in the reserved pot liquor and milk mixture. Season this mixture with black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Chop the egg whites. Once the soup has boiled, add the chopped egg whites and the cut muskrat meat to the soup. Serve the soup very hot. Sherry may be optionally added at the table or before serving.
