Mayonnaise?? Anyone???

[mrdarceych]

started with a fork..thought it must be easy given the ingredients!
30 mins later...still just eggs...found a whisk... 20 mins later...still just eggy!! What do i do?? Am bloody determined to succeed!! HELP please!!!

How much oil have you managed to add?

It takes AGES.

Have you an electric whisk?

Its starting to thinken now... Probably bout a tablespoon oil to 3 egg yolks and a teaspoon of vieger... Havnt dare tast it yet!
No electric whisk:(... Think i might get one!!)

Sod it... I give up!! It tastes vile!!!(and still looks nothing like hellmans!!!)

Would still be interested in a foolproof recipe if anyones got on( for when i got a electric whisk! No way am i ever going to put my. Arm through that again!!)

Did put some colmans pwder in n salt n pepper!!

As a habitual meringue maker with loads of egg yolks to use up, I've tried for a long time to convince myself that my homemade mayonnaise is nicer than Hellmans. It's really not. I'd also love a foolproof recipe of pure deliciousness!

One egg yolk, about a tbs of white wine vinegar or lemon juice, a big pinch of mustard powder and a big pinch of salt.

Mix all this with a big balloon whisk and add oil very slowly in a trickle....a helper is useful, either to trickle in the oil while you whisk like fury and hold the bowl, or to hold the bowl while you drip and whisk

When it is thick and gloopy you are done. And I finish it with about a tablespoon of hot water.

I suppose it'd be a quarter pint of oil per egg yolk or thereabouts.
