Sour Cream Sauce
HOMEMADE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
Because we are starting this recipe with homemade mayo and not store-bought, you will find this so creamy and good that you will want to eat it with a spoon. This is a masterpiece with homemade Buffalo wings and much more.
First, you will be making the mayonnaise:
Homemade Mayonnaise
1-1/4 cup canola oil, divided
1 egg, room temperature
3 TBS vinegar
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp kosher salt
pinch cayenne pepper
Place 1/4 cup of oil, salt, cayenne pepper, mustard and egg into a blender or food processor and pulse until completely blended.
SLOWLY add a thin stream of the remaining canola oil while the appliance is running until all is processed. Add the lemon juice and vinegar and whip until smooth and creamy.
Then you complete the dressing using the instructions below:
EASY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
2-1/2 oz blue cheese
3 TBS milk
3 TBS sour cream
2 TBS homemade mayonnaise (see above)
2 tsp white wine vinegar
1/4 tsp white sugar
1/8 tsp (or to taste)Â homemade garlic powder
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
In a small bowl, mix the vinegar and milk together – mix and let stand for 10 minutes. Add the blue cheese and mash with a fork till this looks like cottage cheese. Stir in the sour cream, mayonnaise, sugar and garlic powder. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill till ready to serve. This may be refrigerated if sealed in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
