homemade mayonnise recipe

for those of us who would love to make their own mayonnaise at home, here are some step by step methods to lead u on. enjoy

Ingredients:

- 1 large Egg (at room temperature)

- 150ml Vegetable oil

- 1 tablespoonful Lemon juice or Vinegar(optional, but gives it a slight acidic taste)

- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Steps

1. Wash the egg thoroughly and break into a blender.

2. Add the salt ,vegetable oil and lemon juice or Vinegar and blend the mixture for 10 seconds and stop when you notice the mixture turning slightly white.

3. After 10 seconds, continue blending for another 20 seconds until all the ingredients are well incorporated.If you're using a hand blender, like mine, do an upwards and downwards movement until the oil is well combined with the egg.You should have a stiff and smooth consistency.

4. Finally pour into a sterile container and your homemade mayonnaise is ready for use.Homemade Mayonnaise keeps for up to 1 week, but I highly recommend that you use it up in three days and also store in the fridge.

Quick notes:- You can beat the egg first until stiff before adding the oil and lemon juice, this will result in a thicker mayonnaise.- Eggs from pastured hens are best used for mayonnaise because they contain 20 times more healthy omega-3 fatty acids than factory-fed hens.
