I put the liver in the milk to soak before I go to work, so it is ready to use when I get home. A little extra soaking in the fridge doesn't seem to hurt.
Calf's liver is sweeter and more delicately flavored than beef liver. From the Southwest chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947.
I learned a long time ago most anything which is fried can be baked. So I tried it with liver and onions. The house didn't stink for three days and the meat was much more tender.
I got this recipe from a family friend about thirty years ago. I do not know where she got it. This method of preparation eliminates the things that I find put me off about liver.
