How to make it
- In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Separate the oysters from the liquor and check the oysters and liquor for shell fragments. Combine oyster liquor with ½ cup of evaporated milk and mix. Stir milk mixture into flour mixture to make batter. Add a pinch of sugar and the oysters to the batter and stir. If the batter seems too thick add small amounts of milk until the right consistency. Pour 1/4" oil into large skillet, heat over medium high heat. When the oil is hot, using a Soup ladle fill the ladle with some of the oyster mixture and spoon into the hot oil. Fry, turning once until both sides are golden brown, about 4 minutes each side. Remove to paper towel lined plate and keep warm or place each fritter between 2 pieces of white bread and serve immediately.
- Note: If using new or fresh oil for frying, fry a hand full of French fries before cooking the fritters to season the oil.
