CLASSIC MAYONNAISE
WITH COOKED EGGS
Heating eggs to 70°C, and holding
them there for a moment, sanitises
them to kill salmonella bacteria
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 (175 ml) vegetable oil
Have ready a pie plate filled with ice
cubes and cold water. Add the whole
egg, egg yolk, sugar and flour to the
SmartPower Duet 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 18cm non-
stick skillet. Wash the work bowl, blade
and lid with hot water and soap; dry.
Over medium heat, using a heat-proof
scraper, stir the egg mixture until it
thickens to the consistency of a thin
custard, about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Stir
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
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.
