After thirty minutes, the brains need to be cooled in the broth. Remove the brains from the pot and let them dry a little. Then cut each piece into two pieces. Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. Dip the cooked pieces in flour. Fry on all sides in vegetable oil in a heated skillet. Roast the brains until crisp.
