To Make Oyster Loaves

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Take little round loaves, cut off the tops, scrape out all the crumbs, then put some oysters into a stew-pan with the j crumbs that come out of the loaves, a little water and a good i lump of butter ; stew them together ten or fifteen minutes ; then put in a spoonful of good cream, fill your loaves, lay the | bit of crust carefully on again, set them in the oven to crisp. Three are enough for a side dish.
