A favorite recipe of former Canadian Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent.

With fresh oysters, cover with water, boil and save the juices. (With frozen or canned oysters, save the liquor). Mix milk, butter, salt and pepper in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add oysters, and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste frequently. Add juice or liquor at the last minute; bring to a boil and serve.
