jmcbn Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 You mean just not using the white? Yes, I've done it many times - it's give a nice rich consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crastney Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 it should work better in theory, as it's the yolk, mustard and oil that are needed for emulsification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyV Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Well, I made it yesterday. I used my stick blender, 2 yolks, salt, dry mustard, curcumin, 4oz avocado oil,4oz olive oil, 2 TBS ACV. It started out that I slowly added the oil and things seem to look good as I kept added the oil. I put about half of the oil in and it became thick and my blender was getting warm; so I added the oil more quickly and the emulsification broke. I now have some solid chunks in with liquid I use it for dressing and it has a very rich flavor. All-in-all not bad. Next time I will stop when it get to the thick portion and use it to melt it over my veggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codysmom Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Kathy, if you are using your stick blender, then you should put all your oil in at once. A slow drizzle is for the blender of beater method. Dump eggs in first, oil last, everything else in between. Put your stick blender in your container all the way, turn it on, and slowly pull it out. It will emulsify as you pull it from the container. It works for me every time - except once when I forgot to put the lemon juice in! Have you watched Kenji Alt-Lopez's video? I was a magic moment for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a magic moment for me! IT WORKED! I just used 2 egg yolks salt, dry mustard and ACV. It took just under a cup of oil to get it perfect! I had my magic moment too!
