Instead of buying store-bought mayonnaise, why not try making it yourself? Here’s a simple recipe that you can follow to create a delicious homemade version.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 lemon 🍋
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Vegetable oil (approximately 1 cup)
Instructions
- Separate the Eggs:
- Crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. You will only need the yolks for this recipe.
- Place the yolks in a blender.
- Prepare the Lemon Juice:
- Cut the lemon in half and juice it, removing any seeds.
- Pour the lemon juice into the blender with the egg yolks.
- Add Sugar and Salt:
- Add a tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt to the blender.
- Blend the Ingredients:
- Start blending the mixture of egg yolks, lemon juice, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Add the Oil Slowly:
- With the blender running on a low setting, gradually add the vegetable oil in a slow, steady stream.
- Continue blending and adding the oil little by little until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify. The mayonnaise will become creamy and thick as more oil is incorporated.
- Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
- Store:
- Once the mayonnaise reaches your desired consistency, transfer it to a clean container and refrigerate. Homemade mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
