    Rub the yolks together

    Rub the cold, hard-boiled egg yolk into the raw egg yolk until smooth.

    Add the oil little by little, then the vinegar, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar. Stir well.

Changes from the original

Units modernized (tablespoon → tbsp, teaspoon → tsp). "Mustard" is estimated at 0.5 tsp, as the original gives no amount. Note the raw egg yolk; use fresh eggs.

What does the dressing consist of?
1 cooked and 1 raw egg yolk, 3 tablespoons oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch of pepper and a pinch of sugar. Everything is stirred together well.
Where does the recipe come from?
From Henriette Schønberg Erken's Stor kokebok (1914), page 350.
