take Jter or cream cruckcrs, as soon as

less when cooked too much, or left to staud
too long after they are withdrawn from

tho milk iu a separate vessel set in anothef
of hot water, and aftor, it is mingled with
the liquor and oysters, stir assiduously or
it may "catch," ns tho cooks buy t. .,
scotch on tho sides or bottom or the sauce

Fried Oysters. Use for frying tho
largest and best oysters yu can find. Tako
them carefully from the liquor ; lay thenl
in rows upon a clean cloth, nnd press
nmuiier ngiuiy .irion tueni to ausoru mo
j moisture, lia ve rty several beaten egfrs
and in another dish sou, crackers crushed

' one oyster before you risk the rest. Do not

are done. Servo drv, and let the dish be

enough, and that tho fritter is of tho light
size and consistency. Take rapidly from

ing yellow brown, aud send to table very
. hot.
I Some fry the oyster whole, enveloped in
1 baiter, one in each fritter. In this case,
' tho batter should be thicker than if the
chopped oyster were to be added.
