Oyster Chowder On Toast

Ingredients

• 30 large oysters (about 3 pints)
• 1 pint milk
• 3 tbsp oyster liquor, strained
• 1 pinch mace
• 1 walnut-sized piece butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• Salt and white pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Method

1. 1 Wash oysters in their own liquor. In a saucepan, combine milk, 3 tbsp strained oyster liquor, mace, and butter; heat until scalding hot.
2. 2 Mix flour with a little milk to form a smooth paste. Stir this into the hot milk mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
3. 3 Add oysters to the sauce and cook for about 5 minutes until plumped. Season with salt, white pepper, and Worcestershire sauce.
4. 4 Serve immediately on a platter over slices of buttered toast.
