1. Take two eggs, and put the yolks in one basin and the whites (which will not be wanted) into another basin.
2. Take a wooden spoon and just stir the yolks enough to break them.
3. Add to them a salt-spoonful of salt and half a salt-spoonful of pepper, and a tablespoonful of French vinegar.
4. Take a bottle of salad-oil, and, putting your thumb half over the top, pour in, drop by drop, the oil, stirring well with a whisk the whole time. A gill of the oil will be enough.
N. B. - Add a teaspoonful of ready-made mustard, or tarragon vinegar if liked, stirring it in smoothly.
