BASIC
SALAD DRESSING
Basic salad dressing is great
dressing for all kind of salats or a base for variety of dressings, not
as known as the mayonnaise bat has the advantage of being prepared with
less fat. It is also one of the dressings that may be made without oil,
and so finds favor with those to whom oil is not agreeable.
However, oil may be substituted
for the butter or margarine that is given in the recipe. It will be noted
that the preparation of this dressing is similar to that of a custard with
the addition of flour. Since the flour requires longer cooking than the
eggs, they are added last so that there will be no danger of overcooking
them.
| Ingredients: |
• 2 Tb. butter
• 1 tsp. mustard
• 2 Tb. flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp. salt
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 1/4 cup vinegar |
 |
| Preparation: |
| Melt the butter in the inner
pan of a double boiler, add the flour, salt, sugar, mustard, and milk.
Cook until the mixture is thickened. Beat the eggs, stir them into the
mixture, and add the vinegar, beating rapidly. Place in the large pan of
the double boiler and allow this to cook (stirring frequently) until the
eggs have thickened. Cool and serve.
TIP: If the dressing
curdles, it may be known that the eggs have cooked too long, but this condition
may be remedied by placing the pan containing the dressing in a pan of
cold water as soon as the curdling is observed and then beating vigorously
with a rotary beater. |
