Homemade Mayonnaise

Submitted by crispychick

"My mama always had this growing up....I never had Hellman's until I was in college!!!! I'ts just delicious, and equally as wonderful as a sauce if you thin it down with more lemon juice/vinegar and add some garlic and herbs. You must have a food processor to make this."

 

• Ready In: 5mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 10

ingredients

• 1 1⁄4 cups vegetable oil (I use canola)
• 1 whole egg
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, to taste
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne
• 1 teaspoon salt

directions

1. In the bowl of a food processor, crack the egg and the 2 egg yolks.
2. Run the machine about 30 seconds and slowly (I mean slowly) drizzle the oil in, while running.
3. Stop the machine (the mixture should be of normal mayonnaise consistency).
4. Add the mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
5. Whiz again until mixed.
6. Taste.
7. Adjust.
8. Remember these flavors will improve upon sitting and refrigeration.

Great recipe! I'd never made mayo before, but this recipe made what I was looking for. It would be 5 stars but it was a little tricky adjusting to taste... that was the most time consuming bit. But it came together well and was a nice consistency. Thanks! NOTE- I've upgraded this to 5 stars because I use it all the time now! I use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and about 1 cup of oil. I make it with the stick blender- so easy it's never failed.
