Rolled Oysters image

My grandparents enjoyed these oysters at Mazzoni's in Louisville, Kentucky many, many decades ago. The restaurant is no longer there, but my grandparents were fortunate enough to charm this recipe out of the owners. Ever since, these little treasures have become a New Year's Eve tradition in my family. Memaw always formed extra "Mock Oysters" out of the cracker crumbs and batter for the kids who didn't like oysters (me!).

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups oatmeal
5 cups water
1/2 cup light corn syrup
2 pints oysters, drained, reserve the liquid
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup self-rising flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs, separated
32 ounces saltine crumbs, 2 boxes

Steps:

  • Cook the oatmeal in the 5 cups of water.
  • Add the corn syrup to the oatmeal and remove from heat.
  • Set the oatmeal mixture aside to cool and then add the evaporated milk and the reserved liquid from oysters.
  • Add the baking powder and flour, beat thoroughly, and then add the egg yolks into the oatmeal mixture.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff and then fold the egg whites into the oat mixture.
  • Add a little more self-rising flour if the oat batter is too watery (it should have the consistency of wet mud).
  • Roll each oyster in cracker crumbs, dip it into the oat batter and then roll in the cracker crumbs a second time.
  • (At this point, the oysters can be placed on wax paper and stored in the freezer until you are ready to fry them, or fried immediately.) To prepare, deep fry until they turn a dark brown color.
  • They may also be pan fried.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my rolled oysters didn't turn out very well. The oysters were overcooked and the sauce was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the rolled oysters turned out great. I served them with a side of lemon wedges and everyone loved them.

These rolled oysters were a bit of work to make, but they were worth it. They were absolutely delicious.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of oysters. But I'm so glad I did! The oysters were cooked to perfection and the sauce was amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

I've made rolled oysters before, but this recipe was by far the best. The oysters were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious.
