    • Marsala wine, ½ cup.
    • Flour, 5-6 tbsp
    • Clarified butter, 3-4 tbsp.

  • These quails where sold without skin, but sometimes they are available with skin. In birds are cooked with skin, then first frying possible can be performed without any butter on very hot skillet, to make lovely crispy skin.
  • Use only good wines, recommended in this recipe, otherwise results will be bad.
