Boiled dressing is often substituted for mayonnaise and is preferred by many cooks, BOILED DRESSING, Put one tablespoon butter, oné tea Spoon sugar, one beaten egg, one tea- spoon mustard, half a teaspoon and a dash pepper into a small saucepan and cook in another sauce ban of hot water, or in double boller, until it begins to thicken, Add eight twblespoonfuls vinegar and cook three minutes, Beat jonally + while cooling.
