Instructions: Sift the flour, baking powder and salt. Beat the egg and milk and add to make a batter. It should be stiff. Beat smooth. Put all the oysters in this & coat them well. Take up 3 batter coated oysters at a time and form them in the hand in a croquette. Quickly roll them in the meal, covering them completely. Coat the second time, putting them back in the batter & again in the meal. Deep fry oysters in your deep fryer at 375 degrees.

Lower heat as soon as they go in. Do not cook too quickly. Cook the oysters for about 3 or 4 minutes until heated throughout and the crust is visibly brown. Serve with tartar sauce or use a favorite cocktail sauce if you have one.
