Classic Mayonnaise with Cooked Eggs

Makes 1 cup

1large egg

1large egg yolk

teaspoon granulated sugar

teaspoon unbleached, all-purpose flour

1tablespoon white wine vinegar

1teaspoons dry mustard teaspoon table salt teaspoon ground white pepper

cup (6 ounces) vegetable oil

Have ready a pie plate filled with ice cubes and cold water. Place the whole egg, egg yolk, sugar and flour in the jar of Cuisinart¨ SmartPower¨ 7-Speed Electronic Blender.

Over medium heat, using a heat-proof scraper, stir the egg mixture until it thickens to the consistency of a thin custard, about 1 to 1 minutes. Stir for minute longer,

then remove the pan from the heat and place it in the prepared ice water bath, stirring the egg mixture until it is cool.

Add the cooled egg mixture to the blender jar along with the vinegar, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Process on Stir to blend, about 15 seconds. With the machine running on stir, add the cup of the oil in a very slow, steady stream, taking about 2 minutes. Hold the measured pour lid over the opening while adding oil to prevent splattering. The mayonnaise will thicken gradually. Stop processing once all the oil has been added and the mixture is emulsified. For a thicker mayonnaise, chill for one hour or longer before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Variation: Cholesterol-Free Mayonnaise: Substitute cup pasteurized liquid egg substitute for the egg and egg yolk. Omit the cooking/cooling steps. Substitute olive oil for the vegetable oil.
