Basic Fried Rabbit Or Squirrel - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 rabbit or 1 squirrel
butter, melted,as needed for the size
corn flakes, crushed,as needed
shortening or bacon grease, as needed

Preparation

Remove legs from body of dressed rabbit or squirrel.
Split the body down the back through the breast.
Cut each half in two crosswise.
Dip meat pieces in melted butter.
Roll pieces into crushed corn flakes coating all around.
Brown meat in hot oil on each side.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour.
Note: Some people like to soak the meat in salted water a few hours before cooking.
If so cover the body with water in a pot and add 3 Tablespoons of salt.
Then drain, rinse, and pat the body dry before cooking.
I often do this especially if the animal appears to be old.
