Old Virginia Fried Oysters Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Old Virginia Fried Oysters Recipe, first make a batter of 4 tablespoonfuls of sifted flour, 1 tablespoonful of olive oil or melted butter, 2 well-beaten whites of eggs, 1/2 teaspoonful salt, and warm water enough to make a batter that will drop easily. Sprinkle the oysters lightly with salt and white pepper or paprika. Dip in the batter, and fry to a golden brown. Drain, and serve on a hot platter with a napkin under them, and pass slices of lemon with them.f
