   MMMMM---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------   
         2 c  Flour   
       2/3 c  Shortening or lard   
       3/4 ts Salt   
         5 tb Ice water   
         1 lg Egg   
       
     Cook squirrels in large pan, using enough water to cover.   
     Salt to taste (about 1 tsp). Cook 2 to 3 hours or until   
     tender. Remove squirrels from pan, cut up, roll in flour,   
     and fry in shortening over medium heat until browned.   
        
     To the broth add potatoes, diced and carrots. Return   
     broth to heat and let simmer until potatoes are cooked.   
     Broth should thicken with the cooking of the vegetables.   
     If not thick to your liking add some arrowroot until   
     desired consistency is reached. Taste broth and adjust   
     seasonings.   
        
     Mix together all ingredients for dough, using fork to cut   
     flour through other ingredients. Work gently 1 minute with   
     hands.   
        
     Roll out dough on floured surface to about 1/4" thickness.   
     Cut in 1" or bite size pieces and add to boiling broth and   
     vegetables. Add parsley flakes and salt. If not enough   
     salt is added, dish will taste bland.   
        
     Add browned squirrel back to the broth. Cook 30 minutes on   
     low heat.   
        
     VARIATION: Roll the pastry out like pie dough and make   
     one large or six small pies.

     with several squirrels by a friend who is a mighty hunter.
