A mayonnaise dressing is a triumph of art when well made:--

A tablespoonful of mustard, one teaspoonful of salt, the yolk

of three uncooked eggs, the juice of half a lemon, a quarter

of a cupful of butter, a pint of oil, and a cupful of whipped

cream. Beat the yolks and dry ingredients until they are very

light, with a wooden spoon or with a wire beater. The bowl in

which the dressing is being made should be set in a pan of ice

water. Add oil, a few drops at a time, until the dressing

becomes thick and rather hard. After it has reached this stage

the oil can be added more rapidly. When it gets so thick as to

be difficult to beat add a little vinegar, then add the juice

of the lemon and the whipped cream, and place on ice until

desired to be used.
