Broiled Soft-Shell Crabs

Clean eight crabs and season them with salt and pepper. In a deep plate melt one-half cup of butter and add two tablespoons of lemon juice and one-fourth of a teaspoon of cayenne. Roll the crabs first in this mixture, then in dry flour. Place them in a double broiler and broil over hot coals eight minutes.
