I’m really happy to share this foolproof Homemade Mayonnaise recipe with you. “Easy on the mayo!”…are not words you hear very often in my house! I don’t know about you, but we get through gallons of the stuff. Buying good quality mayo can be expensive and I’ve always been a bit wary of the pale and pasty cheaper versions. So I started to make my own!
My easy food processor method means you can make a batch in just ten minutes, deliciously creamy with a little tang from the lemon.
To make the Homemade Mayonnaise, you will need the following ingredients:
Using the small bowl attachment for your food processor, add the egg, vinegar, mustard, and salt to the bowl and blend for about 20 seconds. Use a spatula to scrape the mixture from the sides and bottom of the bowl towards the center.
Start the blender and very slowly add the oil a couple of drops at a time, keeping the blender going. Continue until about 1/4 of the oil has been processed and you start to see the mixture thickening and emulsifying. At this point, you can ever so slightly increase the speed at which you add the oil.
Once all the oil has been combined, use a spatula again to clear the sides and bottom of the bowl and blend for a few seconds more. If the mayo seems a little thin, add a little more oil ever so slowly. Taste the mayo and add salt or lemon juice if you think it needs it.
In my opinion it’s definitely worth the small extra effort to make this Homemade Mayonnaise. Think how many of your favorite dishes would be made extra special with a dash of this! Let me know how you get on with this quick and easy method in the comments section!
That was easy!
