Creamed Oysters

Make a rich cream sauce with 1 pint milk, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 saltspoon salt and a little red pepper. Put the butter in a saucepan over the fire, and when it bubbles, stir in the flour. When the two are smoothly blended, stir in the milk (which has been heated) a little at a time. Cook 2 minutes after thickening, then drop in the oysters and let them cook until the edges curl; then add the salt and pepper and serve hot on toast or salted crackers.

Mrs. W. H. McClenahen.
