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.
Thanks Woolly, I’d lost your recipe, this has worked brilliantly, of course! Pinned
Just had a go at this. Had to use cider vinega as run out of lemons so P2 but tastes delicious and sooooo easy to make! Now my hubby can have coleslaw with his meals instead of peas!
