Baked Frogs’ Legs

Prepare and clean one dozen frogs’ legs, put a thick layer of minced mushrooms
and sifted brown breadcrumbs in a baking dish, lay the pieces of legs on them, season
with salt and pepper, strew a few sweet herbs over, also more sifted crumbs, put two
or three small bits of lemon peel on the top, squeeze over the juice of a lemon, and
pour in about one breakfast cupful of brown gravy. Cover the whole with a sheet of
buttered paper and bake for half an hour in a moderate oven. When cooked, brown
them under a salamander, and serve in the same dish.
