Title: Squab Pot-Pie (Heirloom)
Categories: Poultry Game
Yield: 3 Servings

Method only

Cut into dice three ounces of salt pork; divide six wild squabs into pieces at the joints; remove the skin. Cut up four potatoes into small squares, and prepare a dozen small dough balls.

Put into a deep baking dish the pork, potatoes, and squabs, and then the balls of dough, season with salt, white pepper, a dash of mace or nutmeg; add hot water enough theo cover the ingredients, cover with a "short" pie-crust and bake in a moderate oven three-quarters of an hour.
