1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons vinegar
Mix the mustard, salt, flour and sugar. Add the scalded milk slowly to this. When it has thickened add the egg well beaten. At the very last add the vinegar. (Lemon juice may be substituted for the vinegar.) Cool. Add one pint of whipped cream (this means one cup of cream before it is whipped).
To this dressing add two cups of fruit - bananas, pineapple, white grapes, green cherries or red cherry jam and oranges. The fruit wants to be cut in quite small pieces. Pack this in a mold and place it in equal quantities of ice and rock salt for four hours. This is a splendid dish for a bridge tea as it takes the place of both salad and dessert.
