Lemon juice. Salt. Sugar, 1 tablespoon. Into a saucer break the yolk of a fresh egg; put with it a large pinch of salt, and with a fork stir the yolk till it begins to stiffen. Gradually add to the yolk, a drop at a time, cooking oil or olive oil, stirring well after each drop is added. Continue this process till the mixture be- comes too stiff to stir, then thin it with lemon juice, and add more salt. The salt helps to stiffen it. Thicken again with oil in the same manner as before, and thin again with lemon juice. Continue this till the desired amount is made. When stiff enough to cut with a knife, add one tablespoonful of sugar. This will keep a number of days, if set on ice. Success in making it, depends upon the care with which the oil is added. At first add a drop at a time; and toward the last, two or three drops, and perhaps half a teaspoonful, at a time. To keep from curdling, put the lemon juice and oil on ice for fifteen minutes before using. Should the may- onnaise curdle while making, or afterward^ begin again with a clean, dry bowl and batter whip, using another egg yolk, and the curdled mayonnaise as though it were oil.
