Home Made Mayonnaise


So often when we think sandwich the word "mayo" pops into your head immediately after. When putting a sandwich together your arms automatically grab the mayonnaise from the refrigerator. Just imagine this heavenly condiment with your twist on it in dishes like egg salad, tuna salad and potato salad. It makes them seem alot more appetising when you think about it huh. Well here's a good start to a home made mayonnaise which anyone can spruce up by adding their own signature flavours.

Anita's Home Made Mayonnaise:
1/2 cup oil
2 egg yolks
1 tbs vinegar
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp boiling water
salt and pepper to taste

Place the egg yolks, vinegar and mustard in a bowl and beat well, gradually adding the oil, whisking continuously. Slowly add one teaspoon boiling water. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Note: Spices such as cayenne pepper, nutmeg, paprika, garlic powder can be added to make it your own.
