In a large saucepan, heat the butter and sauté the chanterelles for 3-4 minutes. Dust with the flour, then gradually pour in stock and milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Sieve the self-rising flour into a bowl. Add salt, herbs, suet and chervil. Mix in egg and water. Mix until well combined. Shape the dough into approximately 24 balls. In a large saucepan bring chicken stock to a boil, add the dumplings, cover and cook over low heat for approximately 10 minutes.

Take the soup from heat and stir in the chicken cubes. In a small bowl whisk the egg yolks with the cream. Ladle in a small amount of the soup and stir well. Pour the mixture back into the soup and heat gently, but don’t allow to boil anymore. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
