I’ve started to make my own mayonnaise, but all the recipes I find are for largeish batches, at least a cup and usually more. Since home-made mayonnaise doesn’t last very long, a lot of it goes to waste if I only have it on something once a week or so.
Does anyone have a recipe or tips for making a small batch, maybe half a cup or a few tablespoons?
-
It has to be made in the blender. I never have any luck making it by hand whisking or with an electric blender. Plus, life is too short.
-
It can’t have any sugar. That’s the whole reason I have to make my own. Store-bought mayonnaise stupidly has sugar.
-
The basic ingredients I’ve been using: eggs - olive oil and/or vegetable oil - dry or prepared mustard - lemon juice (I use bottled, flog me now). Seems like there’s more but I’m not remembering what it is…some sort of spices.
-
Fat content doesn’t matter to me, so if I need to use a yolk, that’s fine with me. If using a partial egg I can always find a use for what doesn’t go into the mayonnaise.
Any tips?
(I named this thread in a way so that other small-batch recipes for one or two people are welcome to be given or asked for.)
