Baked Brains

Soak for 1 hour in cold, salted water, changing the water several times. Parboil for 15 minutes. Plunge into ice water to blanch and remove all membrane.

Cut each in two, lay in a baking pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge lightly with flour, add bits of butter, and a little water in the pan, basting frequently, until a light brown. They are as delicious as sweetbreads.

Brain Omelet

10 minutes, then plunge into ice water to blanch them. Then scrape all the creamy, soft parts from the dark skin, add 4 beaten eggs, cayenne, and salt. Fry in hot butter, fold, and serve, garnished with cress or parsley.
