Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Yellow mustard powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 250 milliliters Skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 pinch Ground white pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks, white vinegar, mustard powder, and granulated sugar together until fully combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of the skim milk to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining skim milk over medium heat until it begins to steam but does not boil.
Slowly pour the warm milk into the egg mixture in a thin stream, whisking constantly to prevent curdling.
Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and place it over low heat.
Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and continue stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a creamy, pourable consistency. This should take about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and season with salt and ground white pepper to taste.
Let the dressing cool completely before transferring it to a clean glass jar or bottle.
Store in the refrigerator for up to one week and shake well before each use.
