1 qt. oysters
2 cups milk or cream
¹⁄₄ cup butter
¹⁄₄ cup flour
³⁄₄ teaspoon salt
Few grains of white pepper
Drain and wash the oysters. Strain the liquor through cheese-cloth. Heat
the oysters in the liquor by themselves and scald the milk. Rub the
butter and flour together, add them to the hot milk or cream, and let it
boil. Put this mixture with the boiling oysters and set it in a cooker
for one-half hour or more. Just before serving add the seasoning. Serve
it on toast or crisped crackers, or in croustades.
