Sauces and Dressings

Basic Mayonnaise

(The American Egg Board recommends using the freshest eggs and then heating them to kill salmonella bacteria. This recipe uses a procedure suggested by cookbook author and food sleuth Shirley Corriher for heating the eggs to sanitize them. The results are definitely worth the effort. Proper refrigeration and storage is necessary.)

 

Makes 1 cup

 

1

large egg

1/4

teaspoon flour

1

large egg yolk

2

teaspoons dry mustard

1-1/2

teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon

1/2

teaspoon kosher salt

 

juice

 

pinch of cayenne

1

teaspoon wine vinegar

 

2

tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1

tablespoon water

3/4

cup vegetable oil

1/4

teaspoon sugar

 

 

Insert the metal blade. Process the egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, wine vinegar, water, sugar and flour until smooth, about 20 seconds. Transfer the egg mixture to a small (7 or 8-inch) non- stick skillet, and heat over very low heat while gently stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula. When the mixture begins to thicken and resemble a custard sauce, remove from the heat while still stirring and set in a pan of ice and water to stop mixture from cooking. Stir until the egg mixture is cooled; let rest for 5 minutes. Wash the work bowl, metal blade and lid in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Insert the metal blade. Process the cooled egg mixture with the dry mustard, kosher salt, and cayenne until blended, about 1 minute. Scrape the work bowl. With the machine running, add the olive oil slowly, taking about 30 seconds to add the entire 2 tablespoons. Scrape the work bowl. With the machine running, add the vegetable oil to the small pusher, one-quarter cup at a time, and allow the oil to drip slowly into the emulsion. The mayonnaise will thicken as the oil is added. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Remove to a container, cover, and keep refrigerated. Keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated.
