Scalloped Oysters Recipe

Scalloped oysters make a fine supper dish on a cold night, and there are

several ways they can be prepared. The one I like best I will give

first. The child should butter a number of thin slices of bread and

spread on the bottom of a dripping-pan, laying on next a layer of

oysters, with pepper and salt; then another layer of the thin buttered

bread, another layer of oysters, and the top finished with a layer of

bread, well seasoned. Over the whole pour the oyster juice and one-half

cupful of milk. This will require from twenty to twenty-five minutes in

a hot oven, when the bread on top will be toasted crisp. Many people

like scalloped oysters prepared with crackers, and in that case the

rolled cracker-crumbs are used instead of the bread, but the taste of

the two dishes is different.
