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

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.
