Baked Calf's Brains
Drop two calves' brains into a bowl of cold water and change the water frequently until they are quite white. Carefully remove the thin outer skin and drop into a sauce pan of boiling salted water to which is added one-quarter of a teaspoon of onion. Simmer for six minutes, drain and dry on a towel. Brush over thoroughly with melted butter and roll in highly seasoned bread crumbs. Place each on a slice of bacon in a pan and bake in a very hot oven for half an hour.
