MAITRE D'HOTEL SAUCE

MAYONNAISE

Put into an earthen bowl the yolk of a fresh egg and a pinch of
salt, a dash of red pepper, and half a teaspoonful of dry mustard.
Place the bowl on ice or in ice-water. Pour one cupful of olive-oil
into a small pitcher from which it will drop easily. When the egg
and seasoning are thoroughly mixed, begin to add the oil, using
a silver teaspoon, and rubbing rather than stirring. Add the oil
until a clear spot is formed upon the egg, and then mix
[Page 30]
until smooth. Only a few drops can be added at first, but the quantity
may be gradually increased. The clear spot on the egg is an infallible
test of the right quantity of oil. If too much oil is added the
dressing will curdle. A few drops of lemon-juice and long beating
will usually make it right again. If this fails, set the bowl directly
on the ice in the refrigerator, and let stand for half an hour.
If it is still curdled, begin again with the yolk of another egg
and add the curdled mayonnaise by degrees to the new dressing.

When the mayonnaise is so thick that it is difficult to stir it,
add the juice of half a lemon, if desired.

MILANAISE SAUCE
