Makes 3 cups Servings
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 1/2 cup neutrally flavored oil, either vegetable or canola
Preparation
Baking Directions:
You can make mayo easily in a food processor — do not use a blender, which will heat the eggs too much and sort of cook them.
Blend the yolks of three eggs.
Mix the lemon juice and vinegar into the egg mixture.
The acid is important for your mayo to emulsify.
With the food processor running, take the oil and begin slowly drizzling it into the egg mixture.
It's important to add the oil slowly to make a stable mayo that doesn't break.
Keep adding oil until what you have is the consistency of mayonnaise.
Voila — you've just made your own mayo! For extra bonus points, ditch the electronics and blend your mayo by hand: Follow the same directions but use a bowl and whisk instead of the food processor.
