Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Dry mustard
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and dry mustard until smooth.
Gradually add the apple cider vinegar and milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble gently. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the unsalted butter until it's fully melted and incorporated.
Allow the cooked salad dressing to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a container and refrigerate until ready to use.
Serve chilled over your favorite greens, coleslaw, or as a dip for vegetables. Enjoy!
