Quails Crapaudine

Singe and draw the quails, remove the claws and truss them with their legs inward. Pinch the breast and scallop it without reaching the skin; beat the birds flat, sprinkle over salt and pepper and dip them twice in clarified butter and breadcrumbs. Boil them over a clear fire, and serve with Italian sauce.
