Hot Bacon Sauce for Dandelions or Spinach Salad

This is a very old recipe. It was my mother's. A schoolteacher, she had a house in Greenville, Pa., and a farm in Hartstown, Pa. where she grew onions bigger than softballs, winning the prize each year at the fair.

4 - Slices Bacon
1 - Egg, beaten
1 - Small can evaporated milk
2 - Tablespoons sugar
1/3 - cup vinegar
Dash salt

Cut bacon into small pieces and brown. Keep 4 teaspoons baking drippings. Add egg, vinegar, milk, sugar and salt to bacon drippings. Cook until slightly thickened. Pour over salad greens while still hot. Especially good on dandelions in the Spring.
