- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. celery salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 1 1/2 c. milk
- 1/4 c. dry white wine (optional)
Directions
Melt butter in heavy saucepan; add oysters and liquor. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until hot (do NOT boil); add salt, celery salt & apper. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly. Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring constantly, until heated through and oyster edges curl. Stir in wine, if used. Makes about 4 cups.
