Tips:
- Select the right oysters: Choose medium-sized oysters with plump meat and tightly closed shells. Avoid any oysters with cracked or broken shells.
- Clean the oysters: Scrub the oyster shells thoroughly with a stiff brush to remove any dirt or debris. Then, carefully shuck the oysters, being careful not to spill any of the oyster liquor.
- Prepare the bacon: Cut the bacon slices in half lengthwise. Then, wrap each oyster in a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.
- Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Then, gradually whisk in the milk and egg until a smooth batter forms.
- Fry the oysters: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully dip each oyster into the batter, then fry it for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bacon is crispy and the oysters are cooked through.
