Oysters Fried In Batter Recipe
Yield: 1 batchRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1/2 pint: Oysters,
Salt and pepper to taste,
2: Eggs,
Nutmeg,
1/2 pint: Milk,
Oil for frying,
1 1/4 cup: Flour,
Directions:
Scald the oysters in their own liquor, beard them, and lay them on a
cloth to drain thoroughly. Break the eggs into a basin, mix the
flour with them, add the milk gradually, with nutmeg if desired and
seasoning, and put the oysters in a batter. Heat the oil in a deep
frying pan; put in the oysters one at a time; when done, take them
up with a sharp pointed skewer and dish them on a napkin.
Fried oysters are frequently used for garnishing fish, and if so used
a few bread crumbs should be added to the flour.
