Angels on Horseback

• 6 fingers bread
• 2 oz (50 g) butter
• 6

Fry the bread lightly in butter, then keep hot. Trim the beards from the oysters, sprinkle with lemon juice and cayenne and roll each in half a rasher of bacon. Fry quickly in butter just long enough to cook the bacon, turning the rolls so that they are cooked on all sides. This should take only about 2 minutes, during which time the bacon protects the oysters, so that they are not overcooked.
