First boil the oysters and set to one side. Cut green onions and brown well with butter and# a tablespoonful of flour. When well stirred tog-ether, add a pint of oyster water and the yolks of 3 egg-s, £ lemon. Season to taste with salt and peper. Add oysters and stew all together one-half hour. Then put the tricassee into patties.

Roll out a nice puff paste thin; cut out with a g-lass or

cookey-cutter, and with a wine glass or smaller cutter, cut

out the centre of two out of three; lay the rings thus made

on the third and bake at once. If the cutters are dipped

in hot water, the edg-es of the patties will rise much higher

and smoother when baking-.
