BAKED FROG LEGS

Prepare and clean one dozen frog legs. Butter a baking-dish, sprinkle with chopped mushrooms and crumbs, and lay the frog legs on them. Season with salt and pepper and sweet herbs. Sprinkle with crumbs, squeeze over the juice of a lemon, and pour in a cupful of Brown Sauce. Cover and bake for half an hour in a moderate oven.

Simmer the prepared legs in milk until tender. Drain and put in a platter. Spread with butter and keep warm. Cook together one tablespoonful of flour and two of butter, add the milk in which the legs were cooked and enough more to make a pint. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Season with salt, paprika, and minced parsley, take from the fire, and add two eggs well beaten with the juice of half a lemon. Bring to the boil, pour over the frog legs, and serve.
