HELLMANN'S (COPYCAT) MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolk by hand for 15 seconds.
• Combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl or glass measuring cup.
• Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.
• Add half of this solution to the egg yolk and whisk for another 15 seconds.
• Pour 1 cup of canola oil (or soybean oil) into a plastic squirt bottle.
• This bottle will allow you to dribble the oil into the egg yolk with one hand while whisking with the other.
• 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.
• When you have used about half of the oil, your mayonnaise should be very thick.
• Add the remaining vinegar solution.
• Whisk.
• Now you can add the remaining oil in a steady stream while whisking until all of the oil has been added.
• Your mayonnaise should be thick and off-white in color.
• Put the mayonnaise into an old mayonnaise jar and seal it with a lid.
• 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.
• Keep up to 2 weeks in your refrigerator.

HOMEMADE BEST FOODS/HELLMANNS MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• 1. Break egg into bottom of 1-quart canning jar or other tall narrow jar. The jar should be only slightly wider than the end of the stick blender.
• 2. Add lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, table salt and white pepper.
• 3. Add 1 cup of vegetable oil.
• 4. Place mixing blades of stick blender (turned off) all the way to the bottom of the jar, pressing down over the egg.
• 5. Turn stick blender on high speed, hold in place at bottom of jar for about 5-seconds, until you see mayonnaise form under stick blender's mixing blades.
• 6. Slowly pull stick blender upward until the mixing blades reaches top of jar, taking about 5-seconds to do so. The stick blender will turn the oil into mayonnaise as it is pulled slowly to the top of the jar
• 7. Chill before using to allow mayonnaise to thicken slightly and for flavors to develop.
• 8. I use this pretty quickly and always remember it does not have preservatives in it. Being as it makes one cups has never been a concern. Have never tried using egg substitute for it should work ok if you want to try.
