846. +Fine Mayonaise, No. 1.+-- The yolks of 4 eggs, 8 tablespoonfuls
salad oil, 4 tablespoonfuls white vinegar, 1 teaspoonful salt, 2
teaspoonfuls sugar, from 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls French mustard and 1/2
pint whipped cream or 3 tablespoonfuls condensed milk which is not
sweet; put the yolks in a small saucepan and stir them to a cream;
then slowly add, stirring constantly, 4 tablespoonfuls oil; when
this is well mixed add the 4 spoonfuls vinegar, set the saucepan in
a vessel of boiling water and stir over the fire till contents of
saucepan begin to thicken; then instantly remove and continue the
stirring until cold; then slowly add the remaining 4 spoonfuls oil,
stirring constantly; next add the salt and sugar; then the mustard
and lastly the cream or condensed milk. This mayonaise is excellent
if made exactly according to recipe. These quantities will make a
mayonaise sufficient for 10 persons. If the mayonaise is not all
wanted at one time fill it into jelly glasses without the cream. It
will then keep for some time. The cream can be added when wanted for
use.

into a small vessel and stir them to a cream; add by degrees the
oil, stirring constantly; then slowly add the vinegar, set the
