Oyster Stew Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 quart oysters
- 1 quart milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- salt and pepper
- 4 tablespoons cracker crumbs
Directions
Drain oysters from liquor. Heat liquor to boiling point and skim. Scald milk in double boiler. Add liquor and oysters. Cook until edges of the oysters shrivel. Add butter, salt and pepper. Serve at once.
If cracker crumbs are used, combine butter and cracker crumbs and add to oyster mixture.
Oysters and oyster liquor must not be added to milk until just before serving, as the mixture is apt to curdle if the oysters are allowed to stand in the milk.
