Fried Flounders

Clean and prepare as for boiling some small fish, score them over the back and sprinkle with salt and pepper, dip them into milk and cover well with flour; or dip them in egg and breadcrumbs, put them into a fryingpan of hot fat and fry for four minutes, then bring the fat to the boil and fry for three minutes longer. Take them out, drain and dust over with a little salt; garnish with halves of lemon and fried parsley and serve on a hot dish.
