Make your homemade mayonnaise using the ingredients below and following the step-by-step preparation method.
Ingredients
1 egg at room temperature
1 teaspoon mustard
1 teaspoon vinegar or lemon juice
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 cup vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower oil)
Directions
- Initial preparation: Make sure the egg is at room temperature.
This helps to emulsify the mayonnaise more easily. - Starter mix: In a blender or food processor, add the egg, mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
- Emulsification: Start mixing these ingredients on low speed.
Meanwhile, start adding the oil very slowly.
Start with a few drops and gradually increase the flow of oil as the mixture begins to thicken.
The mixture will start to get thicker and creamier as the oil is incorporated. - Keep adding oil: Keep adding the oil in a thin trickle until the mayonnaise reaches the desired consistency.
The more oil you add, the thicker the mayonnaise will be.
Remember to go slow to ensure proper emulsification. - Seasoning Adjustment: Taste the mayonnaise and adjust salt, pepper, and acidic flavor (vinegar or lemon juice) as needed, according to your preferences.
- Storage: Transfer the homemade mayonnaise to a clean, airtight jar.
It can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week.
