Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more. Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels. Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more. Divide liver among plates and top with onions.

Gently rinse liver slices under cold water, and place in a medium bowl. Pour in enough milk to cover. Let stand while preparing onions. (I like to soak up to an hour or two - whatever you have time for.) This step is SO important in taking the bitter taste of the liver out. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Separate onion rings, and saute them in butter until soft. Remove onions, and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Season the flour with salt and pepper, and put it in a shallow dish or on a plate. Drain milk from liver, and coat slices in the flour mixture. When the butter has melted, turn the heat up to medium-high, and place the coated liver slices in the pan. Cook until nice and brown on the bottom. Turn, and cook on the other side until browned. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Cook a bit longer to taste. Our family prefers the liver to just barely retain a pinkness on the inside when you cut to check. Enjoy!

Trim away and discard any tough membranes in the liver slices. Cut the slices into thin strips about a quarter of an inch wide. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat the olive oil in a small heavy skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring often, over moderately high heat about 10 minutes or until onions are golden brown. Reduce heat as necessary. Do not allow the onions to burn or they will be bitter. When the onions are almost ready, heat a wide, heavy skillet and add two tablespoons of the corn oil. When hot and almost smoking, add half of the liver strips. Cook over high heat, turning the liver pieces so that they cook evenly. Cook about three minutes. Scoop out the pieces and transfer them to a warm serving dish. Heat the remaining two tablespoons of corn oil. When it is very hot, add remaining liver strips. Cook as before. Remove the liver and add to the initial batch. Pour off all fat from the skillet and wipe it out thoroughly. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and capers.
