Perez-Guerri Recipe for Mayonnaise

I love mayonnaise, don't you? ♡♡♡

And I figured it's about time I feature my favorite family recipe, passed down from my grandmother's side, for homemade mayo!

The ingredients are quite simple and only require the following:


The amounts are as follows:

• 1 egg
• 1 tbsp vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
  
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
  
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1 C vegetable oil

And the steps are even simpler:

1) Put all ingredients into blender except for oil

2) Add 1-2 tbsp of oil and beat

3) Keep beating while adding the rest of oil sloooowly until it firms into a mayo-ish consistency

This really only takes a couple of minutes.
If you use the kind of blender that has a hole in the center of the lid, through which you can pour the oil slowly.

But I use a Magic Bullet, which means I have to turn it off, unscrew, add oil, rescrew, beat again, and repeat. A little timely, but I gotta work with what I got. {:)

But I digress.
When you first start beating the mixture, it will be very liquidy and orangish thanks to the paprika:


After about 1/2 C of the oil has been added, it'll start to get that nice lighter whipped mayo look:


Finally, I dollop the mayo into a jar and ta-dah! All done~


This recipe makes a little over 1/2 pint of mayo.
Mm-mm and enjoy!!
