Mayonnaise From Scratch Recipes

MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit, (which means you've got an emulsion on your hands). Once you reach that point you can relax your arm a little (but just a little) and increase the oil flow to a constant (albeit thin) stream. Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.
• Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.

MAYONNAISE CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar cocoa, baking powder and baking soda. Beat in mayonnaise and water. , Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Spread with frosting.

BASIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Place egg yolks in a food processor. (To avoid using raw eggs, substitute yolks from pasteurized eggs.)
• Add mustard and lemon juice. Pulse ingredients until well combined.
• With motor running, add oil in a slow, steady stream (mixture should become thick and emulsified). Season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week.

MAYONNAISE CAKE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.
• Sift all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa together.
• Whip mayonnaise, white sugar, cold water, and vanilla together until mixed thoroughly. Add flour mixture slowly and beat at medium speed of an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 25 minutes. Frost with your favorite frosting.

BASIC MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Tip the egg yolks and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk together until completely combined. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken. Once you're confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.
• Once all the oil has been whisked into the eggs and you have a thick, spoonable mayonnaise, whisk in the vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for two days.

FAIL-PROOF HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• If you have a large food processor, use the smaller bowl attachment that came with your processor so that the bowl is not too large for the amount of mayonnaise this recipe makes. Not using the smaller bowl can prevent the mayonnaise from emulsifying since the mixture will not have enough contact with the blade.
• If you do not the smaller bowl attachment, making the mayonnaise with an immersion blender or by hand are alternatives. Or simply make a larger batch and double the recipe and use the standard bowl attachment. You might find success with a high-speed blender, but based on reviews and comments from readers, using a blender seems to be less fail-proof.
• Add egg to the small bowl of a food processor and process for 20 seconds. Add the mustard, vinegar, and salt. Process for another 20 seconds.
• Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, turn the food processor on then begin to slowly add the oil in tiny drops until about a quarter of the oil has been added (this is critical for proper emulsification).
• When you notice that the mixture is beginning to thicken and emulsify, you can be a little less strict. With the processor on, continue to add it slowly, but increase to a very thin stream instead of drops of oil.
• When all of the oil has been added, scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl and process for an extra 10 seconds. Taste mayonnaise for seasoning then add salt, lemon juice or extra vinegar to taste.
• Note, if the mayo seems too thin, slowly stream in more oil with the processor running until thick.

RANCH DRESSING

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), vinegar and seasonings.
• Whisk in the buttermilk until desired consistency for dipping or dressing.
• For best flavor, refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

HOMEMADE MAYONNAISE RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the egg yolk and mustard to a large mixing bowl. Season with a little pepper and salt.
• The yolk should be at room temperature. If the ingredients are too cold, the mayo will split easily. Beat the yolk quickly for a minute using a large balloon whisk.
• Now comes the tricky part where most people make a crucial mistake. Add the groundnut oil: drop by drop. I always add at least 10 single drops of oil in the beginning. Whisk the yolk mixture for 20 seconds after every time you add a drop. If you add too much oil in the beginning, the mayo will split.
• The yolk mixture will be runny for a while but after those 10 separate drops, the mixture will thicken a little.
• Keep on whisking the yolk and oil mixture firmly until it becomes creamier and thicker.
• From now on you can add more drops of the groundnut oil at once. The mayo should gradually come together and start to look glossy. Take your time. Once you've added the oil, then add the lemon juice or vinegar. This will make the mayo paler.
• Check the seasoning of the mayo and add extra pepper, salt, mustard, garlic paste, lemon juice or vinegar to taste. Forget the soar arm: you just made homemade mayonnaise from scratch... Then pour the mayo in a clean jar or container and store it in the fridge for up to one week.
