Sweet French Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper and paprika mixed
• claret vinegar
• 20 drops tabasco
• 20 drops onion juice
• 0.5 lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon brandy, rum or whiskey
• 0.25 pint salad oil

Instructions

1. Combine the sugar, mustard, salt, and mixed black pepper and paprika in the bottom of a small deep bowl. Stir well for two minutes. Gradually add claret vinegar while stirring, making the mixture as thick as cream.
2. Add the tabasco, onion juice, strained lemon juice, and brandy (or rum or whiskey). Mix well.
3. Add the salad oil a tablespoonful at a time, stirring hard between each addition. Add more vinegar and more oil as needed—the seasoning will be sufficient for half a pint of finished dressing.
4. Continue stirring until the dressing thickens and takes on an emulsion-like consistency when poured upon salad. Keep on ice. The oil and vinegar will separate over time, but the dressing can be brought back together by stirring hard.
