Place in an earthen bowl a couple of fresh egg-yolks and half a teaspoonful of ground English mustard, half a pinch of salt, half a saltspoonful of red pepper, and stir well for about three minutes without stopping, then pour in, drop at a time, one and a half cupfuls of the best olive oil, and should it become too thick, add a little at a time, some good vinegar, stirring constantly.
