Easy homemade mayonnaise
Wednesday, April 29, 2020
A basic recipe for making homemade mayonnaise using fresh eggs, mustard and oil. So easy to make and tastes great. Give it a try!
During lockdown, it’s amazing how easy it is to run out of kitchen essentials and for me, mayonnaise is an essential! In normal times, I would just nip out to the shop to get some, but I’m not going to shops unless it is absolutely vital. Having my own hens, I had a good supply of eggs but most people have a few rattling around in their kitchen and they are perfect for making home-made mayo.
If like me, you like making meringues or Pavlova, you will have leftover yolks and this is a great way to use them up.
ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 200 mls vegetable oil (plus extra of needed)
- 3 tsps lemon juice
- salt
Instructions
- Place the yolks and mustard in a food processor and blitz
- As the processor runs, slowly add the oil a drop at a time. Add as slowly as possible to avoid the mixture splitting. When the mixture looks stable, you can add a bit more at a time
- Add the lemon juice and salt and season to taste
Eggs of all shapes and sizes
