Economical Mayonnaise No. 2 Recipe ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1-½ cups best vegetable oil
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• About 3 tablespoons lemon juice

To prepare this Economical Mayonnaise No. 2 Recipe, first bring the water to a boil, and thicken with the cornstarch made smooth in 3 tablespoons cold water. Boil up well and set aside until partly cool. (It should be used before it gets cold, or it will be lumpy.) Beat the egg and the salt with a Dover egg beater. Add the oil, the lemon juice and the cooked starch by turn, slowly at first and increase as the egg takes up the oil and the starch, until all is used. Add salt to taste, and butter color to make the color of ordinary mayonnaise, and set in a cool place.

NOTE - Mayonnaise made with cooked starch will not keep sweet more than two days and should be made for immediate use only.
