Although boiled salad dressing is not so great a favorite as the uncooked mayonnaise dressing, it has the advantage of being less expensive. Then, too, it is 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 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.
Ingredients:
- 2 Tb. butter
- 1 tsp. mustard
- 2 Tb. flour
- 1 c. milk
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 1/4 c. vinegar
Steps:
- Melt the butter in the inner pan of a double boiler, add the flour, salt, sugar, mustard, and milk.
- Cook over the flame 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 until the eggs have thickened.
- Cool and serve.
