4 sl Bacon
1/2 c Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
1 tb Corn starch
1 Egg; beaten
1/4 c Vinegar
1/2 c Water (originally 1 c)
Fry bacon slowly. In a saucepan put 1/2 c sugar with salt and corn
starch. Mix thoroughly. Add beaten egg and vinegar, mixing well
again. Lastly, add water, bacon and fat; cook to desired thickness.
(Pour over bowl of leaf lettuce; I use a 3 qt bowl but don't pack it,
just loosely fill.)
Any kind of leafy green can be used--endive, dandelion, (possibly
spinach), some cooks use cream instead of water.
