Mayonnaise Sauce

1/2 pint (I cup) olive oil I egg yolk I tablespoonful vinegar I tablespoonful lemon juice 1/2 teaspoonful powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoonful salt Dash of red pepper 1/4 teaspoonful mustard Mix together in an earthenware bowl the salt, red pepper, mustard, and yolk of egg. Beat with a wooden spoon until slightly thickened. Add the sugar and a teaspoonful of lemon juice or vinegar, and when well blended with the other ingredients add the olive oil gradually, beating constantly.

When several teaspoonfuls of the oil have been added, a small egg-beater may be substituted for the wooden spoon, and the oil may be added faster.

When the mixture becomes too thick to beat easily, add a little of the lemon juice or vinegar, then more oil, and so on, alternating until all the ingredients are used. If liked, add more seasonings.
