Economical Mayonnaise

Put in a small bowl, the yolk of an egg, a tablespoonful of vinegar, the same amount of lemon juice, a half cupful of olive oil, a quarter teaspoonful of dry mustard, the same of salt and of paprika. Now put half a cupful of cold water in a small saucepan and add to it gradually, stirring all the time so it will not lump, a quarter of a cupful of flour; when mixed, set on the fire, or over a spirit lamp, and stir until very thick; about three or four minutes will thicken it. Then add this, while hot, to the other mixture, beat the two together until thick. This recipe may be doubled as the mayonnaise keeps well. Very good for vegetable salad.
