This is a great recipe for mayonnaise made from scratch. You can also use vinegar in place of the lemon juice.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable oil
PREPARATION:
In small saucepan, stir together egg yolks, lemon juice, water, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper until thoroughly blended. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture begins to bubble around edges. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
Pour into blender container; cover and blend on high speed. While blending, very slowly add oil. Blend until thick and smooth. Occasionally, turn off blender and scrape down sides of container with rubber spatula, if necessary.
Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
