Homemade Mayonnaise

I made mayonnaise for the first time about 17 years ago and I was so excited about how easy it was and how delicious it tasted compared to store-bought that I couldn’t stop talking about it for days. It’s so easy to make and you can whip it up in less than one minute.

INGREDIENTS

  • Egg – 1
  • Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
  • White vinegar – 1 tablespoon
  • Oil – 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons

PROCEDURE

Step 1

Crack the egg and pour it into a blender.

Step 2

Add the salt.

Step 3

Add the white vinegar. If you don’t have vinegar, you can use lemon juice.

Step 4

Blend the mixture while slowly pouring in the oil. Blend for about 30 seconds.

Step 5

If you can see a little bit of oil, mix it in and blend again for about 5 seconds.

Step 6

This is what you’re going for. Thick and creamy.

Step 7

Transfer into a bowl or jar, cover, and keep refrigerated.

You don’t want to make a big batch as it spoils easily because there are no preservatives in it. Only make what you need per time and use it within 4 to 5 days.

Step 8

Enjoy!
