1 1/2 pounds sweetbreads
⅛ teaspoon mace ground
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
3 tablespoons vegetable oil flavorless
2 tablespoons shallots finely minced
1 cup sherry dry
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted

1
PREHEAT OVEN TO 375F (190C).
2
Pat the sweetbreads dry and peel and discard the most obvious membranes without breaking the sweetbreads into small pieces.
3
Mix mace, salt and pepper with flour, and dust the sweetbreads, shaking off the excess.
4
Heat the oil in a heavy, oven-proof frying pan over medium heat on the stove and add the sweetbreads.
5
Cook until they are dark golden on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
6
Do not crowd the pan or they won't brown.
7
Tilt the pan and pour off any remaining oil and add the shallots, wine and broth and bring to a boil.
8
Cover the skillet and transfer to the oven.
9
Turn temperature to 325F (160C) and cook 35 minutes, turning once.
10
Remove pan from oven and use a slotted spoon to transfer the sweetbreads to a platter.
11
Add the cream to the cooking juices and quickly boil the liquid until it starts to become sauce-like, about 10 minutes.
12
Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter.
13
When it's time for dinner, strain the sauce over the sweetbreads; decorate with slices of lemon.
