Basic Blender Mayonnaise

 

    

I've never made homemade mayo before so I was excited to try this recipe. I've heard it's easy and I've heard it's better than store bought. Gotta agree with both of those. Although, I tried making it in my bullet type of blender and it didn't work at all. So I busted out the big blender and ta-da! We got mayo! It was a bit salty in my opinion, but I'll definitely make this again and cut back on the salt. I would probably try using olive or avocado oil next time too in stead of the salad oil. Try this one, we liked it!

Here's my interpretation of the recipe:

Basic Blender Mayonnaise

1egg

2 Tbs. fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 tsp dry mustard

¾ tsp salt

¼ tsp white pepper*

1 cup salad oil

Combine egg, lemon juice, dry mustard, salt and pepper in electric blender jar. Cover and blend at low speed until mixed. Increase speed to high and add salad oil.

*I couldn't find white pepper so I used black pepper

*I used vegetable oil as salad oil

*Use a regular blender to make this, not a bullet style one. You'll need to slowly add the oil while blending to let it emulsify. 

*I stored it in a mason jar in the fridge.

I hope you enjoy and give this recipe a second chance in your kitchen too.
