ingredients

2 Cornish hens, quartered
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
5 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
3 scallions, chopped
¹⁄₂ lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon imported sweet paprika
¹⁄₂ cup chicken broth
¹⁄₂ cup sour cream

directions

Wash hen pieces, pat dry. Place salt, pepper, and 3 tablespoons of the flour in a plastic or paper bag. Put hen pieces in bag and shake to coat.
In a large frying pan, melt butter over moderate heat. Add hen pieces and cook, turning, until browned all over; about 10 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, until tender. With tongs, remove to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Add scallions and mushrooms to frying pan. Increase heat to moderately high and sautè until tender. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Reduce heat to moderate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons of flour and the paprika to pan drippings. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly stir in chicken broth, blending until smooth. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat and stir in sour cream until blended: do not boil. Pour over hens.
