PERFECT SCALLOPED OYSTERS Recipe

Drain oysters, saving liquid. Combine cracker crumbs, butter, salt and pepper. Spread 1/3 of the buttered crumbs in a greased 8x1 1/4 inch round pan (or similar size). Cover with half of the oysters. Using another third of the crumbs, spread a second layer; cover with remaining oysters. Combine cream and oyster liquid; pour over oysters. Top with remaining crumbs. Bake in moderate oven 350° for 40 minutes. Makes 4 servings.
