Hack of the Week: Making Mayonnaise
Ingredients
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 cup neutral-flavored oil (light olive, avocado, or grapeseed)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dry mustard
Instructions
- Combine ingredients. Add the egg, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, and dry mustard to a jar that is just wide enough for your immersion blender.
- Add the oil. Pour the cup of oil over the other ingredients and let it settle for a minute.
- Start blending. Place the head of the immersion blender firmly at the bottom of the jar. Turn it on and hold it completely still for about 30 seconds, or until a white, creamy base begins to form.
- Emulsify. Slowly begin to tilt and lift the blender, moving it gently toward the surface to incorporate the remaining oil. The mayonnaise will thicken and fully emulsify as you blend.
- Adjust seasoning. Once blended, taste and add more salt, lemon juice, or mustard if needed.
