BASIC MAYONNAISE

For food safety, mayonnaise should not be made with raw eggs. It may be made using pasteurized egg products such as Egg Beaters® or Simply Eggs®, or by using a cooked egg method. With either recipe, take care to properly refrigerate any unused portions.

COOKED MAYONNAISE

Yield: About 5 cups

Preparation: 5 minutes

8 egg yolks

1/2 cup wine vinegar or lemon juice (may use some of each)

1/2 cup water

3tablespoons granulated sugar

3tablespoons dry mustard

1tablespoon all-purpose flour

4teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

4 cups canola or other flavorless oil

In a Cuisinart® 2-quart Non-Stick Saucier, stir together the egg yolks, vinegar, water, sugar, dry mustard, salt, and pepper. Over very low heat, stir the mixture constantly until it bubbles in 1 or 2 places. Remove from the heat; let stand 5 minutes. Insert the metal blade; add the egg mixture to the work bowl. Process for 10 seconds; scrape the work bowl. With the machine running, add the oil in a very slow, steady stream. (Adding the oil very slowly is essential to forming a successful emulsion. If the oil is added too quickly, the emulsion may break down or separate.) Process until the mixture is thick and emulsified. Remove from work bowl, cover and chill completely until ready to use. Keeps from 3-5 days when properly refrigerated.
