OYSTER PATTIES (an Entree)

Author: Top of the Rock Astronaut / Labels:

INGREDIENTS.--2 dozen oysters, 2 oz. butter, 3 tablespoonfuls of cream, a little lemon-juice, 1 blade of pounded mace; cayenne to taste.

Mode.--Scald the oysters in their own liquor, beard them, and cut each one into 3 pieces. Put the butter into a stewpan, dredge in sufficient flour to dry it up; add the strained oyster-liquor with the other ingredients; put in the oysters, and let them heat gradually, but not boil fast. Make the patty-cases as directed for lobster patties: fill with the oyster mixture, and replace the covers.

Time.--2 minutes for the oysters to simmer in the mixture.

Seasonable from September to April.
