Oyster Patty. Make a nice pastry precisely as you would for chicken pie, allowing two quarts of flour for it, and a pound of butter, if you are preparing a gallon dish for a company of as many as twelve persons. Provide three quarts of oysters and put them on to stew half done, with a pint of milk and half of their own liquor, before they are enclosed in the pastry. When you think they are about half done line the dish with pastry and fill it two-thirds full with the oysters, adding a quarter of a pound of butter

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
