Oyster Croquettes Recipe

MISS STEVENSON.



Twenty-five oysters, one dessertspoonful chopped parsley, three ounces

butter, one and one half ounces flour, one gill milk or cream, one

teaspoon lemon juice, one egg, three tablespoons bread crumbs, salt and

pepper. Boil the oysters in their own liquor five minutes, cut them in

rough pieces, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, add

cream by degrees, also oyster liquor, boil two minutes, add then the

parsley, pepper, and salt, put in the oysters and allow the mixture to

cool. Form it then into croquettes on a slightly floured board. Roll in

the beaten egg and bread crumbs and fry in hot fat two minutes.
