Homemade Mayonnaise
Patricia @ ButterYum
As far as my husband is concerned, Mayonnaise is the king of condiments and he slathers it on just about everything. Our pantry has a dedicated spot for 3 backup jars (not kidding!). Well, there must have been a run on mayo recently because my grocery store has been out for weeks. As he was scraping the last of his jarred mayo, he started to panic a bit, but I told him not to worry, I had him covered.
Homemade Mayonnaise
makes about 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients
1 cup neutral flavored oil (like vegetable or canola)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon your favorite prepared mustard
1 teaspoon your favorite vinegar (or freshly squeezed lemon juice)
1/2 teaspoon fine table salt
Directions
Place all the ingredients in a tall jar
Place immersion blender down inside the jar so that the head sits flat on the bottom.
Without moving the blender, turn it on high speed for 5 seconds, then slowly start lifting the head until all the oil is emulsified.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Note
Homemade mayonnaise contains raw eggs. People who are immune-compromised, elderly, or under the age of 5 may wish to not partake.
