Ingredients:

1/4 pound butter
48 shucked oysters with liquid
6 eggs, beaten
4 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
2 cups flour, all purpose is best
1 cup milk or half and half
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup peanut oil

Preparation:

Melt the butter in pan at approximately 300 degrees F. Sauté the
oysters in the melted butter for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the pan
and quarter them once you can handle them easily.

Mix all other ingredients in a bowl, including the oyster liquid.
NOTE: Control the thickness of the fritter batter by the amount of
oyster liquid that you add. The fritter mixture should be tight enough
to mount on a spoon.

Mix in the oysters. Drop a tablespoon full of the batter into
preheated oil (350 degrees F.) and fry until golden brown.
