FROG LEGS BRAZORIA 
12 good sized frog legs (skinned and cleaned)
1/2 lb. unsalted butter
2 tbsp. milk olive oil
1/2 c. milk
salt and pepper
1/2 c. flour
juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp. minced parsley
1 tsp. minced chives
cayenne pepper
2 cloves garlic (pressed)

After you have skinned and cleaned the frog legs, you may wish to cut the tendon that leads to the toes so that the legs won't jump around in the skillet. You may also leave it and ignore the wiggling toes. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the olive oil in a 10 inch skillet. Season the milk with salt and pepper, then dip the frog legs in the milk and then in the flour. Shake off excess flour. Cook over medium heat, turning once, until browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes. Now add lemon juice, parsley, chives, and a dash of cayenne. Put a lid on the skillet, turn heat down as low as possible, and prepare sauce.

Place remaining butter in a smaller skillet, squeeze in the garlic and the brown butter, stirring until it begins to smell like caramel. You will have to watch that it doesn't burn. It's one of those things that you have to hold back on until the last instant. Cook the butter until you think any moment it might burn, then whisk it away from the fire and place the pan on a cold trivet to cool it quickly. Place the cooked frog legs on a hot serving platter. Pour the browned butter over and garnish with lemon slices. Serve it with a rice ring and a simple green salad.

If you love frog legs, this recipe is superb and divine for the ones who love the legs.
