  • Preheat oven to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix flour and water together in a bowl until a thin paste forms, adding more water as needed.
  • Combine flour mixture, chicken livers, cream, onion, eggs, butter, salt, nutmeg, and black pepper in a food processor; process until blended and smooth, 30 to 45 seconds.
  • Transfer liver mixture to three 7x4-inch disposable pans. Cover pans with aluminum foil and place in a baking pan. Pour enough water into the baking pan to come up halfway up the sides.
