Speedy ‘never buy mayo again!’ Mayonnaise

This recipe accompanies the video of the same name.  This recipe is the latest version in order to create thicker, Hellman’s-like mayonnaise, so is slightly different from the proportions discussed in the video.

Ingredients

2 whole eggs
1 tsp cider vinegar/lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/4 tsp salt
a good pinch of white pepper (I use black as I don’t mind specks of black in the mayo)
12 fl oz/355 ml mild olive or sunflower oil (not virgin o o because flavour will be too strong)

For the speedy mayonnaise, place all the ingredients in a narrow bowl or jug and mix on a high speed with a stick blender (this is key – it won’t work in a food processor because it needs the speed of the blender to make it emulsify). It will thicken at once to create a creamy mayonnaise.

If you want a looser mayonnaise, add a tbsp more cider vinegar/lemon and the resulting mayonnaise will be more like the softer French style mayo.
