Smelts Sauted in Brown Butter

Remove the gills, clean and wash the smelts, and when well dried roll them in flour. Place a lump of butter in a fryingpan, and when it is hot put in the smelts and brown them, turning when done on one side. Arrange some slices of hot buttered toast on a dish, put the fish on them and serve at once.
