2 egg yolks
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
4 teaspoons of lemon juice
Put the egg yolks in a small bowl, add the salt and half a teaspoon of lemon juice, and mix well. Add the oil gradually, drop by drop at first, but faster as you proceed, and stir constantly. As the mixture thickens, thin it with lemon juice. Alternate between adding oil and lemon juice until you have used it all, stirring or beating constantly. Keep well covered and in a cool place when not in use. This can be made more economically and in less time by using the whole egg, because egg white takes up oil more readily and also more proportionately than the yolk. However, the colour and the flavour will not be quite so rich as yolk solo. This lack of colour can be overcome by the use of a little vegetable butter colouring, and the difference is not noticed by many. Put it all together and what have you made? What do you sayo?
