and
stir until cold; add the salt, mustard, sugar and vinegar; beat the
whites to a stiff froth and slowly add them to the above mixture;
stir in the cream or condensed milk just before the salad is to be
dressed. These quantities will make a salad sufficient for 8
persons. If it is not to be all used at one time put it into a small
glass or stone jar (without the cream or milk) and cover tightly to
exclude the air. If kept in a cool place it will keep for some time.
When wanted for use add the cream. This mayonaise is both cheap and
excellent.
848. +Plain Mayonaise.+-- Put some cracked ice into a dishpan and
place a bowl in the center of the ice; put the yolks of 4 eggs into
a bowl and stir them well with a wooden spoon for 5 minutes; then
slowly add 1/2 bottle best olive oil; add only a few drops at a time
