  • two dozen of oysters as directed in the receipt above
  • half milk
  • 2 dozens
  • 1/4 pint
  • 1 dessertspoonful of essence of anchovies when liked

Directions

1

Prepare and plump two dozen of oysters as directed in the receipt above; add their strained liquor to a quarter of a pint of _thick_ melted butter made with milk, or with half milk and half water; stir the whole until it boils, put in the oysters, and when they are quite heated through send the sauce to table without delay. Some persons like a little cayenne and essence of anchovies added to it when it is served with fish; others prefer the unmixed flavour of the oysters.
