my homemade mayo recipe
Hi ya’ll,
I have tried to post before, but they never came through for some
reason. I am on my second week of induction. Our 12 yodd is doing
the diet along with me, and our 13 yodd is mostly doing it.
I have made my own mayo for years using my food processor - mainly
because I don’t like all the chemicals in the purchased kind. The
only carbs in it are the eggs and the lemon juice, and since it makes
a tad over 1 pint, the carbs per tablespoon would be almost nothing.
Here is the recipe.
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper (recipe actually calls for 1 tsp white pepper)
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups vegetable oil
Separate 2 of the eggs - dispose of the whites. Into the blender or
food processor, put the 2 eggs yolks plus the one whole egg. Blend
until good and frothy. Add the salt, pepper, and dry mustard.
Process for 15 seconds. Add the lemon juice. Process for 30
seconds. Begin to slowly add the vegetable oil while the blender or
food processor is running. As you add, it will start to get solid.
Once all your oil is added, I let my food processor run for about 15
more seconds to make sure it is all incorporated.
This makes a little more than a pint of mayo, and it is so good. You
can add herbs and spices for flavored mayo as you are added the salt,
etc. One of our favorites is to add dried dill weed - about 1/2
teaspoon or so.
Going back to lurkdom now.
God bless ya’ll,
