Oyster Patties. — Take twenty-four medium-sized oysters (the least salted oysters are better for this purpose), put them in a stewpan with their own liquor, and add half a pinch of pepper. Cover, and let cook for two minutes; then take half the liquor out, and add to the oysters three-quarters of a pint of bechamel sauce (No. 154), and a very little grated nutmeg; simmer for two minutes, but do not let boil. Take six hot patties (No. 266), fill them up with four oysters each
