DEVILLED OYSTERS (Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, 1896)
1 pint oysters. 1/4 cup butter. 1/4 cup flour. % cup milk. Yolk 1 egg. 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped parsley. 1/2 teaspoon salt. Few grains cayenne. 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Buttered cracker crumbs.
Clean, drain, and slightly chop oysters. Make a sauce of butter, flour, and milk; add egg yolk, seasonings, and oysters. Arrange buttered scallop shells in a dripping-pan, half fill with mixture, cover with buttered crumbs, and bake twelve to fifteen minutes in a hot oven. Deep oyster shells may be used in place of scallop shells.
