Boiled Dressing for Chicken Salad.
Ingredients.
- ½ a cup of chicken stock, well reduced.
- ½ a cup of vinegar.
- ¼ a cup of mixed mustard.
- 1 teaspoonful of salt.
- ½ a teaspoonful of paprica.
- Yolks of 5 eggs.
- ½ a cup of oil.
- ½ a cup of thick, sweet cream.
Method.—Simmer the liquor in which a fowl has been cooked, until it is well reduced. Put the stock, vinegar and mustard into a double boiler, and add the salt and pepper. Beat the yolks of the eggs and add carefully to the hot mixture, cooking in the same manner as a boiled custard. When cold and ready to serve, beat in with a whisk the oil, and then fold in the cream, beaten stiff with a Dover egg-beater. Melted butter, added before the dressing is cold, may be substituted for the oil.
