one pint olive oil, two tablespoons vinegar, two tablespoons lemon juice. Mix seasoning; add the eggs, stirring well with back of fork or small wooden spoon; add a few drops of oil at a time till it thickens, thin it with a little lemon, then add lemon and oil alternately, lastly the vinegar. The mixture should be thick enough to be taken up in a ball on the spoon before adding vinegar. If it is to keep long, just before putting away, mash the yolk of a hard boiled egg with a little oil and mix. If liked, a half a cup of whipped cream may be added when ready to serve. If the mayonnaise curdles, beat a fresh egg- yolk and add the curdled mayonnaise, very carefully as you would oil. — G.D.P. 12 196 The Toronto Cook Book Another Salad Dressing Put on stove in double boiler two tablespoons of butter and let this heat; then mix two eggs well beaten, half a teaspoon of mustard, half a teaspoon of salt, and two tablespoons sugar, two tablespoons malt vinegar and two of water; put into hot butter, add half a teaspoon of cornstarch ; mix in little milk, stirring all the time.
