Because of its active life, rabbit has very little fat, so use plenty of shortening and baste frequently, or the meat will become dry.

Yield: Serves 4

• a 2-3 pound rabbit, cut in serving pieces
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt pepper
• butter or shortening

Wash the rabbit pieces and drain but do not dry. Shake them in a paper bag in the flour and seasoning. Put the pieces in 1/4 inch melted butter in a heavy skillet, turning to brown evenly on all sides. Reduce the heat, cover, and cook slowly for 1 hour or until tender. For a crisp crust, uncover for the last 10-15 minutes of cooking.
