Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Brook trout, with head and tail left on
2 tablespoons Flour
Salt
7 tablespoons Butter
3 tablespoons Oil
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
2 tablespoons Chives; minced

Directions

Recipe by: The Fannie Farmer Cookbook Rinse the trout under cold running water and pat dry. Dust lightly with flour, and sprinkle with salt. In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and the oil. When it is hot, put in the trout and fry over medium-high heat.

When browned, turn and brown the other side; each side will take about 3 minutes. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter with lemon juice and chives in a small saucepan. When the trout is done, transfer to a warm platter and pour on the sauce.
