Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Salt and pepper the pheasant pieces, then brown in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, a few at a time, in the butter. Remove browned pieces and set aside as they are ready.
- Saute onions and mushrooms in drippings until onions turn clear. Place pheasant pieces on top of the vegetables, pour wine over, cover and place in preheated oven. Cook until tender - about 90 minutes (see note). Remove birds to warmed serving platter.
- Place Dutch oven on top of the stove and raise temperature to boiling. Reduce sauce by almost half.
- Beat the egg yolk in a cup. Using a tablespoon, begin spooning hot sauce into egg yolk, stirring all the time, until you have a cupful of hot egg yolk and sauce. (If the egg yolk strings, you have added the hot sauce too fast. You'll have to throw out the cupful and start again.) When you have a well-blended cup of hot egg yolk and sauce, pour it back into the boiling sauce, stirring vigorously. Cook and stir until it thickens like gravy. Place in a gravy boat and serve with the birds.
