This creamy mustard sauce is a versatile condiment that can elevate any dish. Perfect for dipping, drizzling, or as a salad dressing, it combines the richness of mayonnaise with the tangy flavor of vinegar and the warmth of dry mustard. Let's whip up a batch for four people!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise, water, white vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the corn starch with a splash of water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the sauce.
- Slowly add the corn starch slurry to the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
