Boiled Mayonnaise Dressing

One teaspoon flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon mustard, 1 salt-spoon salt, butter size of a walnut.  Mix all ingredients with a little vinegar until smooth, then add 1/2 cup of diluted vinegar and put in double boiler to heat.  When hot add the beaten yolks of 2 eggs and let cook until thick.  Thin with cream or olive oil as desired.

Mrs.  James K. Horton.

Boiled Salad Dressing

One cup vinegar, 1/2 cup water, butter size of large egg, yolks of 8 eggs, 1/2 teaspoon mustard, 1 heaping teaspoon cornstarch, salt and sugar.  Mix mustard and cornstarch together, then moisten with water and add to well beaten eggs.  Have vinegar, water and butter in double boiler;  when scalding hot add the egg mixture.  When it thickens beat well to make it smooth.  Add salt and sugar to taste.  This will be quite thick.  Thin it with cream  (sweet and sour)  as you use it.  If you cover the dressing with a paraffine paper and set in a cool place you can keep it for weeks, summer or winter.
