but it is not so good, lard and butter in equal parts being best. Oysters, to be
fried, after dipping as directed, may be dipped into beaten egg first, then into
rolled cracker.
Scalloped oysters.
Two tablespoonfuls of beef substance, two tablespoonfuls of cream; pepper and
salt to taste; bread or cracker crumbs, and oiled butter. Scald the oysters in
their own liquor, and boil. Put in the oysters and seasoning; let them gradually
heat through, but do not boil.
Put the bread or cracker crumbs and oysters in alternate layers in a baking
dish, whereupon brown in oven. Serve very hot.
