Oyster Patties
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Prepare the oysters as directed in the recipe for scalloped oysters No. 2.
Make the patties using puff pastry.
Bake the patties at 400°F (200°C) until the pastry begins to brown.
Once done, place three oysters in each patty and add a little of the sauce.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.
