Oyster Fritters (Select nice oysters wipe them)

Select nice oysters, wipe them dry, have ready a batter made of five eggs, five tablespoonfuls of flour, and milk enough to make a pretty stiff batter. Beat until very smooth, put in a pan equal quantities of butter and lard. As soon as it begins to froth well, put a large spoonful of batter in the pan, laying a large oyster in the middle of it. If the batter is too thin, add flour, if too thick more milk can be used. Very fine.
