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 |
