Smothered Pheasant or Grouse (from The Washington Cookbook)
2 pheasants or 4 grouse (you can reduce numbers if needed)

4 Tablespoons butter, divided
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup water,boiling (you can add 1/4 cup more for more sauce)

(also works well with boneless breasts)

3 Mix flour and salt in a brown paper bag. Shake the meat pieces in the bag 2 at a time until coated
4 Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in a skillet. Sautee the celery and onion until tender. Place them in a shallow baking pan

We generally serve brown rice with it. And you can add 1/4 cup of carrots with the celery and onions if you like.
