Creamed Oysters
1 pint oysters.
1 large cup of cream sauce.
Make the sauce of cream if you have it, and if not use a very heaping
tablespoonful of butter in the white sauce. Keep this hot.
Drain off the oyster-juice and wash the oysters by holding them under the
cold-water faucet.
Strain the juice and put the oysters back in it, and put them on the fire
and let them just simmer till the edges of the oysters curl; then drain them
from the juice again and drop them in the sauce, and add a little more salt
(celery-salt is nice if you have it), and just a tiny bit of cayenne pepper.
You can serve the oysters on squares of buttered toast, or put them in a
large dish, with sifted bread-crumbs over the top and tiny bits of butter,
and brown in the oven. Or you can put them in small dishes as they are, and
put a sprig of parsley in each dish.
