Add 1.5 cups of olive oil gradually, stirring constantly. As soon as the mixture thickens, thin it with a little more vinegar. Proceed until two tablespoons of vinegar, and all the 1.5 cups of oil are used. If the oil is added too rapidly, mayonnaise will curdle. Smoothness can be restored by taking the yolk of another egg and adding to it little by little. The curdled mixture. Mayonnaise should be stiff enough to hold its shape.)

 Beet Rolls With Dill Sauce

From ehow.com

Ingredients
·1 lb. frozen, unbaked bread dough
· beet leaves

Dill Sauce
·1/2 cup butter 
·2 cups cream
·8 chopped green onions
·1 cup chopped fresh dill
·2 cloves minced garlic

1. Thaw the frozen bread dough completely, according to the instructions on the package. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel and set it in a warm place to rise until doubled.
2. Clean the beet leaves while the dough is rising. Trim the leaves away from their stalks and rinse the sand and dirt gently from the surface. Dry them thoroughly.
3. Punch down the doubled dough and pinch off pieces that are about the size and shape of a walnut. Place a piece of dough in the center of one end of a leaf, then roll the beet leaf loosely around the dough. Make sure the dough has room to expand in the leaf. Repeat until all dough and leaves have been used.
4. Lightly grease a baking dish with butter and line up the beet rolls in a single layer in the dish. Cover, place in a warm area and allow the dough to rise until doubled again.
5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 30 minutes. Check the rolls at that time; they may need to go for another 15 to 30 minutes. The beet rolls should be puffy and firm, and any exposed bread should be lightly golden.
6. Melt the 1/2 cup of butter in a medium saucepan, then add the cream, green onions, dill and garlic. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, then drop the heat to low until serving. Ladle the dill sauce over the rolls right before consuming.
