Scalloped Oysters #2

(6) 8 oz cans of oysters - NOT smoked oysters!
(2) sticks of butter
(5) cups milk - whole milk is best, skim milk does not work
(5) tablespoons white flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
(2) sleeves of Ritz crackers
Dash black pepper

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 F
Drain and rinse oysters
Place oysters in a rectangular Pyrex dish (9" x 13" I think) Melt 1 stick of butter. Crush crackers into a bowl (keep them in the sleeve for reduced mess) Stir melted butter into cracker crumbs, mixing completely Mix flour, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Make a white sauce Melt 5 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat (not too hot!)

Slowly stir in flour, salt and pepper mixture Add milk all at once Continually stir over medium heat until thick and bubbly - do NOT boil or burn! This step always takes me longer than I think it will - probably about 20-30 minutes...

Cook and stir 1 minute more

Final assembly and cooking
Pour white sauce over oysters
Spread cracker crumbs over oysters evenly Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes
