FISH, OYSTERS AND GAME RECIPES
Scalloped Oysters #2
Have the bottom of a baking pan well covered with butter, then cover with a layer of cracker crumbs and wet them with cream put on spoonful by spoonful, add pepper and salt, and strew with small bits of butter; next put in the oysters with a little of their liquid, pepper them, stick bits of butter in among them and cover with dry crumbs until the oysters are entirely hidden; add more small pieces of butter very thickly on top, invert a plate over the oysters and set in oven to bake; when the juice bubbles on top remove the plate and leave on upper grate for 2 or 3 minutes to brown on top. Serve in the bake dish.
