MAYONNAISE

2 Eggs—2d.

1 gill Oil—2d.

1/2 gill Vinegar

Salt—1/2d.

Total Cost—41/2 d.

Time—Three-quarters of an Hour.

Put the yolks of the eggs into a basin, sprinkle over the salt, begin to stir them with a wooden spoon, dropping in the oil very slowly. The sauce must be kept thick, and the oil added very slowly. When it is quite thick and smooth, pour in the vinegar slowly, and it is ready for use. This is considered the finest of all salad dressings. If made some time before it is required for table, it must be kept cool. It ought to stand in ice, and the vinegar should be added just before serving. It may be used for any kind of salad instead of the ordinary dressing.

PEPPERMINTS, CHOCOLATE MINTS, Etc.
(Uncooked Fondant)

White of 1 egg,
2 tablespoonfuls of cold water,
Sifted confectioner’s sugar,
1/2 teaspoonful of essence of peppermint or a few drops of oil of
peppermint,
1 or 2 squares of Baker’s Chocolate,
Green color paste,
Pink color paste.

Beat the egg on a plate, add the cold water and gradually work in sugar
enough to make a firm paste. Divide the sugar paste into three parts. To
one part add the peppermint and a very little of the green color paste.
Take the paste from the jar with a wooden tooth pick, add but a little.
Work and knead the mixture until the paste is evenly distributed
throughout. Roll the candy into a sheet one-fourth an inch thick, then
cut out into small rounds or other shape with any utensil that is
convenient. Color the second part a very delicate pink, flavor with rose
extract and cut out in the same manner as the first. To the last part
add one or two squares of Baker’s Chocolate, melted over hot water, and
flavor with peppermint. Add also a little water, as the chocolate will
make the mixture thick and crumbly. Begin by adding a tablespoonful of
water, then add more if necessary, knead and cut these as the others.
