Roasted Oyster Crackers.
1 tablespoonful of butter.
1 gill of boiling water.
3 gills of oyster crackers.
Melt the butter in the water; then stir the crackers into the mixture, that they may all get a slight coating of butter and water. Spread them in a shallow pan and put in a hot oven for ten or twelve minutes. They should be brown and glossy at the end of that time. Serve in a deep dish with oyster soup or oyster stew.
