How to Make Mayonnaise at Home

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Method

1. In a deep bowl, combine the egg, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and sugar.
2. Whisk all the ingredients well, either in a blender, food processor, or with a hand mixer.
3. Gradually add the vegetable oil slowly until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth and well combined.
4. It is possible for the mixture to thicken before all the oil is used, so it is best to add the oil as needed until you reach the desired mayonnaise consistency.
5. Transfer the mayonnaise to a tightly sealed jar or container and keep it in the refrigerator.
6. Homemade mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator for 5 days.
