Ingredients:
2 egg yolks
4 tsp. vinegar
1 14 cup olive oil
pinch dry mustard
salt and pepper
1 tbsp. boiling water
Method:
When making mayonnaise, avoid using eggs that
are cold from the refrigerator. This often cause a
mayonnaise to curdle. Lemon juice can be used
instead of vinegar. A lighter salad oil like
sunflower or Soybean can be used instead of olive
oil.
1. Place the egg yolks, mustard, vinegar and a
seasoning of salt and pepper. Measure oil in a cup.
2. Whisk the egg yolks and seasoning to blend, while
the machine is running, begin to pour the oil very
slowly.
3. Whisk all the time as the mayonnaise begins to
thicken. The oil should be poured directly on to the
whisk so that it is immediately incorporated into
the mixture.
4. When all the oil is added, the mixture will be
very thick. 5.Whisk in boiling water, this will give
the mayonnaise a lighter color and a slightly softer
consistency.
6. Covered and store in the refrigerator, but
remember fresh mayonnaise does not keep long,
especially in summer!
abel and store the jars.
