OYSTER CROQUETTES.
MISS STEVENSON.
Twenty-five oysters, one dessertspoonful chopped parsley, three ounces butter, one and one half ounces flour, one gill milk or cream, one teaspoon lemon juice, one egg, three tablespoons bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Boil the oysters in their own liquor five minutes, cut them in rough pieces, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour, add cream by degrees, also oyster liquor, boil two minutes, add then the parsley, pepper, and salt, put in the oysters and allow the mixture to cool. Form it then into croquettes on a slightly floured board. Roll in the beaten egg and bread crumbs and fry in hot fat two minutes.
