Oyster-Crabs


Oyster-Crabs

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoonfuls of butter
  • 1 gill of water
  • 1 teaspoonful of lemon-juice
  • salt
  • white pepper
  • crabs

Instructions

Put into a saucepan the butter, water, lemon-juice, a little salt and white pepper. When the liquid is warm, put a few of the crabs in at a time and cook until they begin to whiten, then skim them out and keep them in a warm place until all are cooked. The liquid must only simmer; if it is too hot the crabs will break open. The crabs should be just moistened with the sauce in which they are cooked. Serve in croustades, or in fontage cups.
