12 smelts bread crumbs 1/4 lb. of fresh butter 2
blades of pounded mace; salt and cayenne to taste.
Method:
Wash, and dry the fish thoroughly in a cloth, and arrange them
nicely in a flat baking-dish. Cover them with fine bread crumbs, and
place little pieces of butter all over them. Season and bake for 15
minutes. Just before serving, add a squeeze of lemon-juice, and garnish
with fried parsley and cut lemon.
