My favourite brand of mayo!

1 cup (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 egg yolk
2 1/4 teaspoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon water
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar, plus
1/8 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon bottled lemon juice
1 cup soya oil (or canola oil)

Directions

1
Whisk the egg yolk by hand for 15 seconds.
2
Combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl or glass measuring cup.
3
Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.
4
Add half of this solution to the egg yolk and whisk for another 15 seconds.
5
Pour 1 cup of canola oil (or soybean oil) into a plastic squirt bottle.
6
This bottle will allow you to dribble the oil into the egg yolk with one hand while whisking with the other.
7
Squirt a few drops of oil into the yolk and whisk, and continue to add oil a little bit at a time while whisking non-stop.
8
When you have used about half of the oil, your mayonnaise should be very thick.
9
Add the remaining vinegar solution.
10
Whisk.
11
Now you can add the remaining oil in a steady stream while whisking until all of the oil has been added.
12
Your mayonnaise should be thick and off-white in color.
13
Put the mayonnaise into an old mayonnaise jar and seal it with a lid.
14
Leave this out on your kitchen counter for 8 to 10 hours so that the vinegar and lemon juice can kill any potential bacteria in the egg yolk.
15
Keep up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.

I adapted the recipe to be much healthier but I give it 5-Stars. I used 2 egg yolks from Free-Range Organic Hens, No Hormones/No Antiobiotics. I used Celtic Sea Salt rather than the mineral depleted regular table salt. Instead of sugar, I used organic raw Agave nectar. Instead of Vegetable, Soy or Canola Oil (Canola oil is F-A-R from being healthy, read about it in The 150 Healthiest Fods o Earth, Dr. Johnny Bowden)...I used Organic Walnut Oil. (it has a very neutral flavor). Instead of the wisk, I used my vitamix for blending as I streamed in the oil. I also chilled the oil for an hour before making it. Cold oil makes a big difference. What I got was a very healthy version of mayo that tasted as close to Hellman's as I think I'll ever get. Next time I'm going to add a little cayenne pepper and some garlic. But, great base recipe for me. Kudos to you and BIG Thanks!!!

1) Far too little sugar and salt to pass as a Hellman's copycat. 2) Use a blender. There's really no way to whip it properly without your arm falling off. Use the blender before retorting that a whip can do anything a blender can, because it can't with mayo. Otherwise hard to screw up mayo really, just balance with acid/salt/sugar to taste and serve.

I've looked far and near for a homemade mayonnaise that will please my husband, he always says "It's not Hellmann's" so I made this and put it in an empty Hellmann's squeeze bottle. This afternoon he made himself a sandwich and was none the wiser. I asked if he enjoyed his lunch and he said he did. It was hard to keep from snickering as he went back to his office.O.K., I'm just a little evil for not telling him.

This worked out great for a subsitution for Hellman's mayo! I was quite impressed with the results, I added in a bit more sugar than called for, and am considering using this on a regular basis, or mixing the real stuff and the homemade for a budget stretcher. I was a bit leary of leaving it on the counter overnight, but I guess the lemon did it's job! thanks for another winner CL! Kitten
