Fried Kippers

4 servings

Ingredients

• kippers (as needed)
• flour (a little)
• salt (a little)
• butter (a little)
• sauerkraut (as needed)
• eggs (for scrambled eggs, optional) (as needed)

Instructions

1. Peel the skin off the kippers, remove the entrails, dredge in flour with a little salt, and fry golden brown and cooked through in butter.
2. Serve with sauerkraut.
3. Alternatively, completely remove the bones, flake the kippers into pieces, and fry them in butter; prepare fluffy scrambled eggs, arrange the kippers in a mound on a hot dish, and encircle with the scrambled eggs.

Modernized from a treasured 19th-century German cookbook.
