Smothered Crow

  • Salt and pepper
  • 6-8 crows
  • Flour
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1½ cups milk
  1. After you kill the crows, clean them as quickly as everly you can. Rinse them thoroughly.
  2. Soak in salted water in the refrigerator overnight.
  3. Drain off the water, and salt and pepper your crows.
  4. Roll them in the flour.
  5. Melt the butter in a cast iron dutch oven over medium heat.
  6. Brown the crows all over.
  7. Remove them from the skillet, and add 3 Tbsp of flour to the drippings and brown slightly.
  8. Slowly add in a 1½ cups milk, stirring constantly until it’s thickened into a gravy.
  9. Return the crows to the skillet and spoon the gravy over them. Cover the skillet and simmer on low for 45 minutes.
  10. About every 15 minutes or so, spoon more gravy over the crows. Like I said, crow is tough to get down so we want it to be as tender and palatable as possible.
  11. Serve with rice and biscuits (or a good stiff drink of whiskey, which makes crow a little easier to swallow).
