food processor work bowl fitted with the chopping blade. Place
cover on work bowl and press On button. Process on Food Processor
speed until combined, about 5 seconds. Transfer to a 7-inch nonstick
skillet. Wash the work bowl, blade and lid with hot water and soap; dry.
Over medium heat, using a heatproof scraper, stir the egg mixture until it
thickens to the consistency of a thin custard, about 1 to 1½ minutes.
Stir ½ 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 clean workbowl fitted with the
chopping blade, along with the vinegar, dry mustard, salt and pepper.
Process on Food Processor speed to blend, about 15 seconds. With the
machine running, pour
1
/3 cup of the oil into the pusher and let it drip
through the small hole. The mayonnaise will thicken gradually. Remove
the small pusher and add the remaining oil through the feed tube in a
slow, steady stream, about 1 minute. Stop processing once all the oil
has been added and the mixture is emulsified.
Variation: Cholesterol-Free Mayonnaise
Substitute ½ cup pasteurized liquid egg substitute for the egg and egg
yolk. Omit the cooking/cooling steps.
