Mayonnaise Sauce for Pressed Chicken.
To make a mayonnaise perfectly and at the same time cer- tain that it does not curdle, add a few drops of lemon juice right at the beginning. To make a small quantity, use the yolk of an egg, half a teaspoonful of salt and some white pepper and the juice of half a large lemon or that of a whole lemon. Strain this juice. Mix the yolk and the seasoning, adding about three drops of lemon or so and a few. drops of oil, whisking briskly with a fork. Add more oil slowly, whisk- ing in a cupful of oil and every now and then add a little of the lemon. It should be thick, firm and still creamy. Acid a bit of rich cream when the mayonnaise is made. You can add to this which improves it, chopped green peppers, chopped pimentos, chopped pickled English walnuts, and a pinch of English mus- tard.—Mrs. E. B. Perrin, Williams, Ariz.
