home made mayonnaise

[tullius]

It's often silly to spend money purchasing something you can easily produce yourself. Granted, I haven't made my own mayo in years

First got taught to make this using a whisk and a bowl, four hands, and a whole lot of dang work. Then the food processor and blender came along, but someone's gotta clean all those infernal parts.

Now, it's easy:


Charlie Papa Mah-Nez

2 whole eggs​

2 T white vinegar​

1 T fresh lemon juice​

1 T dijon mustard​

1 t garlic pepper​

1/2 t kosher salt​

1/4 t fresh ground black pepper​

1/4 t paprika​

1/4 t cayenne​

1 1/2 c canola oil​

​

put ingredients in order in a tall skinny container/beaker. gently insert immersion/stick blender all the way to bottom, turn on and hold for 10-20 sec until the emulsion starts, then slowly raise to top of beaker. total elapsed time should be about a minute​

Make this once and you'll never buy mayo from the store again.

And, you can use it in deluxe's excellent "complicated tartar sauce" recipe.

Wow! The last time I made mayo myself was around 1978. I said to myself after that, "this is the last time I'm going to make mayo myself." Huge, heavy bowl and a whisk.

An immersion stick blender is the obvious answer, and is one that I never thought of.
