Directions: |
Directions:Into a round/oval, buttered casserole dish place a layer of crushed saltines, then a layer of drained oysters, salt the oysters well, pepper as desired and add 1/2 stick of melted butter. Then repeat process plus one final layer of crushed saltines on top.
Add evaporated milk to reserved oyster liquid to make 2 cups and pour into cracker-oyster mixture. Stir gently till well mixed. Next pour enough whole milk into mixture to make it "soupy". You may think you have too much milk but it takes a great deal as the crackers soak it up. Milk should be to top of dish. It is best to have it too moist than it is too dry.
Dot the top of the casserole with little pieces of butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until "puffed" and lightly browned. |
