Mayonnaise Salad Dressing 1 egg yolk 1 t flour 1 C salad oil 3 T lemon juice 1 t salt Put the yolk, lemon juice + flour into a small bowl. Beat with egg beater till well mixed, then pour about ½ t of oil in at the side of the bowl + beat with beater in such a way as to draw the oil gradually into the egg mixture. When the oil is well beaten into the yolk pour in another ½ t oil + beat it in. As the Process goes on, a larger amt [amount] of oil may be poured in at a time.

Continue till the dressing becomes as thick as it is liked. Then beat in the salt. The flour may be omitted, but it helps the yolk to take up the oil. Success in making it depends upon adding the oil slowly, especially at first. This dressing will keep a week or more in a cold place.
