"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
This is the recipe we used when we were growing up. It was in a cookbook that Mom had. We hardly ever made a single batch...mostly doubled it.
I have no idea how many it would make if you didn't eat part of the dough.
