Making mayonnaise

How to make simple homemade mayonnaise using a stick blender.

Points to remember

  • Place egg yolks, vinegar, mustard and then oil into a tall jug.
  • Place stick blender at bottom of jug. Blend for 10 seconds, then draw the blender up and push any remaining oil into the emulsion.
  • Repeat this a couple of times until you have a thick mayonnaise. Season with salt and lemon juice.

Useful tips

  • Always add the oil to the jug last. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
  • Store mayonnaise in a sealed container in the fridge for one to two days.
  • Do not serve this mayo to young children, pregnant women, infirm or elderly people because raw yolks are used.
