CLASSIC MAYONNAISE WITH
COOKED EGGS
Makes 1 cup
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon flour
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1-1/4 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white
pepper
2/3 cup (6 ounces, 175 ml)
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
blender jar. Place cover on blender jar
and press “On” button. Process on stir
until combined, about 5 seconds. Transfer
to a 7-inch nonstick skillet. Wash the
blender jar, blade and lid with hot water
and soap; dry.
Over medium heat, using a heat-proof
scraper, stir the egg mixture until it thick-
ens to the consistency of a thin custard,
about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Stir for 1/2
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 2/3 cup
of the oil in a very slow, steady stream,
taking about 2 minutes. Hold the meas-
ured pour lid over the opening while
adding the oil to prevent splattering. The
mayonnaise will thicken gradually. Stop
processing once all the oil has been
added and the mixture is emulsified. Chill
for one hour or longer before serving, for
a thicker mayonnaise. Store in an airtight
container in the refrigerator for up to 5
days.
Variation: Cholesterol-Free Mayonnaise:
Substitute 1/2 cup pasteurized liquid egg
substitute for the egg and egg yolk. Omit
the cooking/cooling steps.
