Fried Reedbirds

Pluck and dress the birds, splitting them down the back; season them rather highly with salt and pepper, roll them in flour, cornmeal or sifted bread or cracker crumbs and fry them brown in butter or lard equally mixed and made smoking hot before the birds are placed in it. Or dress, split and season them. They must be served hot as soon as they are brown.
