Broiled Sardines

Select a dozen good-sized, firm sardines, place them in a double broiler and broil for two minutes on each side over a very brisk fire. Place six pieces of toast on a hot dish, lay the sardines on, being careful not to break them, pour over one-half gill of maitre d'hotel butter, garnish with half a dozen quarters of lemon and serve.
