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 cook- book author and food sleuth Shirley Corriher for heating the eggs

to sanitize them. The results are definitely worth the effort.

Proper refrigeration and storage are necessary.

Makes 1-3/4 cups (440ml) Preparation: 15 - 20 minutes.

1

large egg

2-1/2

teaspoons (12ml) dry mustard

1

large egg yolk

1

teaspoon (5ml) kosher salt

1

tablespoon (15ml) freshly

1

pinch of cayenne

 

squeezed lemon juice

2

tablespoons (30ml) extra virgin

 

 

1

tablespoon (15ml) wine vinegar

 

olive oil

1-1/2

tablespoons (25ml) water

1-1/3

cups (330ml) vegetable oil

1/2

teaspoon (2ml) sugar

 

(canola, soya, etc.)

 

 

1/2

teaspoon (2ml) flour

 

 

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 [17 or 20cm]) nonstick 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 the 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,1 minute. Scrape the work bowl. With the machine running, add the olive oil through the hole in the small feed tube very slowly. Scrape the work bowl. With the machine running, add the vegetable oil through the hole in the small pusher, one quarter cup (75ml) at a time, and allow the oil to drip through the hole 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.
