This is just exactly the way my maternal grandmother fixed Scalloped Oysters
for Holiday feasts ever since I can remember! Delicious simplicity! [MG]
1/4 pound saltines
7 tablespoons butter
2 cups shucked, well-drained oysters
1 cup cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a small baking dish, about 8-by-8
inches. Crush the saltines into small pieces with a rolling pan or the bottom
of a pan, to
fill about 2 cups. Melt 4 tablespoons butter. Roughly chop the oysters. Spread 1/3 of the
cracker crumbs in the bottom of the dish. Pour
in 1/2 of the oysters and mix into crackers
a bit with fingertips, then drizzle
in
2 tablespoons butter. Repeat this process, ending
with the crackers.
Slowly pour 1 cup cream along edges of the dish; dot with 1 tablespoon
butter.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, and brown under broiler for 3 minutes.
Serves 6.
