Trout Amandine

Ingredients

8 to 12 (1/2 pound) trout Milk 2 teaspoons salt, divided 6 drops Tabasco sauce 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon white pepper 2 cups (4 sticks) butter	Advertisements

Preparation
  Soak fish in milk, 1 teaspoon of the salt and Tabasco for 1 hour before cooking time.

As the trout are cooked, place them on a warm platter or directly on the plates and serve as soon as possible with a slice of lemon on each fish.
