FISH, OYSTERS AND GAME
OYSTER PIE
To 1 quart of flour take 2 small teaspoonfuls of baking powder, sift two or three times, add a little salt and 1 small cup of butter, mix as for biscuit, divide into 2 parts and bake on 2 medium-sized pie plates; those somewhat shallow are the best. Be careful not to let bake too brown or they will be too crisp. On 1 of these put the oysters, using the other for a top. Pick over the oysters to rid of any shell that may be found, drain off the liquor, and put oysters into a stewpan with barely enough of the liquor to keep them from burning, season with salt, pepper and butter; add a little sweet cream or milk and 3 crackers rolled fine. Let the oysters simmer, but not boil, or they will shrivel. Fill the dish with the oysters and gravy, put over the cover and serve hot.
