Anyone have a receipe for Mayonaise ?

[Fox]

Always wanted to try this, am hoping someone has a receipe that they like and would share.

Thanks,

Assuming that you have a food processor try this one from Julia Child.

She suggests that you use the plastic blade, not the steel one, as it makes a softer mayonnaise.

Put in processor:

1 whole egg

2 egg yolks

1 teaspoon Dijon type mustard

process 30 seconds

add

½ t salt

freshly ground white pepper

2 t fresh lemon juice or vinegar, or combination

process another 15 seconds

add while the machine is running, in a thin stream (most processors have a container as a part of the top that has a small hole that is just right for this)

1 ½ to 2 c very good oil (olive, peanut or other—I use 2 parts good extra virgin olive oil to 1 part canola)

Stop after 1 ½ cups have been added and check for thickness. Add another ½ c or so if desired.

Taste and correct seasoning (I often add a bit more mustard and/or lemon juice—sometimes salt and pepper)

If the mayo is too thick, you can thin with a little sour or sweet cream or water.

If you don't have a food processor, I'll post how to do this by hand.

Basic Mayonnaise

1 egg (need to be at room temperature)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 cup oil

Place all ingredients in the order listed with 1/4 cup of oil in the blender, turn on the machine, and then slowly pour the remaining 3/4 cup of oil, until oil disappear.

I have made my own mayonnaise for last five years.

Thanks to Marley's Ghost and tp2168 for your replies. We are traveling right now and just happened to think of this.

Will try your receipes later, thanks very much.

Homemade Mayo

My grandmother's recipe. Her potato salad with this mayo is legend in our family (as is Grandma herself.) People go through withdrawal when they don't get it for a while. My grandmother made her last batch a couple days before she died at 101.

4 eggs

1 1/2 c white vinegar

1 c. water

1 1/2 c. sugar

1 tsp. yellow mustard

2 tbsp. cornstarch

1 tsp. salt

Boil water and vinegar. Beat other ingredients together. Slowly add to boiling mixture. Lower heat to just simmering. Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens.

Store in refrigerator.

Makes 1 quart.

FYI She made her potato salad the old fashioned way. Potatoes, hard boiled eggs, chopped celery, chopped onions, salt/pepper, a sprinkle of celery seed and paprika.

Oh, MAN! I need some NOW!
