1egg (yolk only).
2saltspoonfuls salt. A pinch black pepper.
1/3 teaspoonful dry mustard. A dash cayenne pepper.
1/2 cupful salad oil.
A few drops lemon juice (or vinegar).
l 1/2 teaspoonsfuls vinegar.
Beat the egg well with a fork; add the dry things, and mix well. Then work in the oil, drop by drop, or it will curdle, alternating at first with a few drops of vinegar to give smoothness. When thick as jelly alternate again with a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar. When the oil is all used stir in the vinegar.
This will keep a week, if not longer, if put into a bottle with a glass stopper and kept in a cold place.
Make it when you have yolks left, after making White Cake, etc.
