Directions
2 Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a pan. Add the onions and saute slowly until they are just beginning to brown. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon for 3 minutes. Add one-third of the milk, stir again and cook for 2 minutes.
3 Drain the oysters, keeping the liquid in which they were soaked, and cut them into small pieces.
4 Mix the onion sauce with the rest of the milk and the soaking liquid in a double boiler. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5 Add the oysters to the pan and leave 20 minutes over low heat, taking care the mixture does not boil. Add the chopped parsley.
6 Just before serving, stir in the rest of the butter and the paprika. Serve at once
