How to Broil Oysters

Ingredients

pepper
salt

Directions

Put the oysters in a cullender and drain all the water from them, then put them in a napkin and wipe them dry. A moderate quantity of cayenne pepper may be put on them if desired. Salt gently, and dip each individual oyster in melted butter. Place them in a double gridiron, the bars of which should be greased to prevent them from sticking. Broil over a brisk fire, basting them with the melted butter while cook- ing. Serve on a hot dish. Pepper and salt to taste.
