I got this recipe from : Home Cooking. I had run out of mayonaise and thought to make my own. Try it and let me know how you like it. Ingredients:
2 egg yolks |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder |
1/8 teaspoon sugar |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
4 -5 teaspoons lemon juice or 4 -5 teaspoons white vinegar |
1 1/2 cups olive oil or 1 1/2 cups other salad oil |
4 teaspoons hot water |
Directions:
1. Beat yolks, salt, mustard, sugar, pepper, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice in a small bowl until very thick and pale yellow. (Note: If using electric mixer, beat at medium speed.)
2. Add about 1/4 cup oil, drop by drop, beating vigorously all the while.
3. Beat in 1 teaspoon each lemon juice and hot water.
4. Add another 1/4 cup oil, a few drops at a time, beating vigorously all the while.
5. Beat in another teaspoon each lemon juice and water.
6. Add 1/2 cup oil in a very fine steady stream, beating constantly, then mix in remaining lemon juice and water; slowly beat in remaining oil.
7. If you like, thin mayonnaise with a little additional hot water. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Do not keep longer than 1 week.
8. Yield: 1-1/2 cups.
