Ingredients for Oysters:
1 cup Saltines (lightly blender is food processor)
1 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 (12 ounce) containers fresh oysters, drained
Vegetable oil

1 tablespoon whole grain mustard

Oysters:

In one bowl, mix the saltines, flour and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Dip the oysters in the egg mixture, dredge thru the flour and place on wax paper. Pour at least 5 inches of oil into a cast iron Dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees using a candy/deep fry thermometer throughout the process. The key to perfect oysters is maintaining the oil at 375 degrees. This means don't cook too many oysters at a time and watch your thermometer closely. The more oil you use the greater the heat sink you create and the less the temperature will drop (i.e. don't skimp on the oil). Fry oysters until golden brown, turning once. Place on paper towels, then serve immediately.
