Fried Smelts, — Do not have the heads removed when the marketman cleans the fish. Wipe the outside of each with a damp cloth and then roll in Indian meal, then in beaten egg and then again into the meal; lay in a frying basket or place a few in a kettle of hot lard

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
