Pigs in Blankets
Instructions:
- These are great fun to make.
- 15 large oysters.
- 15 very thin slices of bacon.
- Sprinkle each oyster with a very little salt and pepper.
- Trim the rind from the bacon and wrap each oyster in one slice, pinning this blanket tightly on the back with a tiny Japanese wooden toothpick.
- Have ready a hot frying−pan, and lay in five oysters, and cook till the bacon is brown and the edges of the oysters curl, turning each over once.
- Put these on a hot plate in the oven with the door open, and cook five more, and so on.
- Put them on a long, narrow platter, with slices of lemon and sprigs of parsley around.
- Or you can put each one on a strip of toast which you have dipped in the gravy in the pan; this is the better way.
- This dish must be eaten very hot, or it will not be good.
