Ingredients
- a small slice of ham in pieces of its own fat until brown
- a pint of oysters
- pepper
- salt
Directions
Saute a small slice of ham in pieces of its own fat until brown, then cut into strips an inch wide and two inches long. This size makes easy service. Cover with boiling water and simmer until tender; then add to the casserole with a pint of oysters ; dot with butter and dust with pepper, adding more salt if the ham should not be extra salt. Cover with little balls made of raised bread dough, placing them about half an inch apart. Cook in a moderate oven until the crust is done and delicately browned. If preferred, the biscuits may be made from baking powder mixture. It is much better to cut the dough into biscuits for the cover as it bakes better and is less liable to become doughy and soggy. The bread dough must have extra shortening added to it so that it will not be as tough as required for bread. The balls are made after the second rising. — Contributed.
