mmm!!...Creamy Mayonnaise...mmm!!
"This is my favourite recipe for 'homemade' mayonaise and was passsed on to me by my Mother. It really has got the "WOW" factor - and really creamy. It is essential that the oil is added VERRRRY slowly, to ensure you get the right consistency."
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1/4-1/2 pint approximately of creamy mayonaise
ingredients
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne or 1/8 teaspoon white pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 pint salad oil
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or 1 tablespoon chili vinegar
- 1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
directions
- Place the mustard, salt, pepper, sugar, a FEW drops of the vinegar and the egg YOLK in a bowl and whisk together.
- Continue whisking and at the same time, add the oil- but ONLY a LITTLE at a time.
- The mixture should NOT curdle NOR become too thick- (insufficient whisking, poor quality ingredients or too hasty addition of the oil will cause curdling).
- Now add the rest of the vinegar, and the lemon juice- a LITTLE at a time, to keep the mayonaise at the right consistency.
- NOTE: if after refrigerating, you find the mayonaise a little too thick, it may be thinned down with a little amount of cream.

I live in New Zealand, I'm married and my husband and I have no children....but we do have a dog (Bruno the Poodle), and a cat (Gus the Birman)!
Back in November 2000, I resigned from a 17yr career with Air New Zealand as a Purser. I am now working as a Private Investigator with my husband - having his own Investigation Company. The work is varied and at times very rewarding as I'm sure you can imagine!
I have an absolute passion for shoes...what woman doesn't??!!!, and fashion generally, including that of Home Interiors and furnishings, and gardens.
I enjoy, among many past-times, art, gardening, water ski-ing, power walking,
and ofcourse...COOKING!!(and entertaining).
I guess my pet peeve would be running late for an appointment somewhere! 10 minutes early = 10 minutes late with me!! So, ON time is VERY late!!!
If I had a month off - no work, and no responsibilities I would buy 2 return airfares to Honolulu!! And spend 2 weeks on Waikiki Beach with my husband and 2 weeks at home in the kitchen!! And entertaining friends and family.
