This recipe provides a simple and delicious way to make your own mayonnaise at home using a stick blender.
Crack the egg into the bottom of a tall, narrow jar.
Ensure the jar is clean and dry to avoid contamination.
Add the lemon juice, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper to the jar.
Layer the ingredients gently to avoid splashing.
Pour the oil on top of the other ingredients.
Pour the oil slowly to prevent it from mixing prematurely.
Place the stick blender at the bottom of the jar, ensuring it covers the egg.
Hold the blender steady to ensure proper emulsification.
Turn the blender on high speed and hold it in place for about 5 seconds until the mixture begins to emulsify.
Keep the blender steady for a consistent emulsion.
Slowly lift the blender upwards, blending the mixture until it turns into a creamy mayonnaise.
Move the blender slowly to incorporate all the oil.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
Chilling helps the flavors meld and the texture to firm up.
