About the dish

A "have on hand" preparation: a mayonnaise base that can stand ready and be finished as needed.

How to make it

  1. 1

    Heat

    Put the cream, vinegar, butter, soured cream and mustard in an enamelled pan over the heat. Stir until nearly boiling.

  2. 2

    Whisk in yolks

    Quickly stir in the whisked egg yolks. Keep whisking until well thickened.

  3. 3

    Cool

    Pour out and stir until cold.

    Store

    Fill well-sealed jars and keep cold. When the mayonnaise is to be used, stir in a couple of spoons of oil, or sweet cream for those who dislike oil.

    Erken says it keeps for weeks. Current advice is to keep it refrigerated and use it within a few days.

Changes from the original

"Del." is converted to dl, and "a couple of spoons of oil" is read as 2 tbsp. The storage time "in weeks" is replaced with current advice in a note.
