Oyster fritters

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Oysters
1 cup Milk
Salt to taste
4 Eggs; well-beaten
Flour

Directions

Select plump, good-sized oysters; drain off the juice, and to a cup of this juice add the milk, salt, eggs, and enough flour to make a batter slightly thicker than pancake batter.

Envelop an oyster in a spoonful of this batter (some cut them in halves or chop them fine) then fry in butter and lard, mixed in a frying pan the same way we fry eggs, turning to fry brown on both sides. Send to the table very hot.

Most cooks fry oyster fritters the same as crullers, in a quantity of hot fat, but this is not always convenient. Either way they are excellent.
