clare* Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Lesley I have looked and cannot find your mayonnaise recipe. Your two jars did look really nice. I would like to have a go. I have got the bread,butter and pasta down to a T now I thought it time to feed everyone something else It has to be an easy and fool proof method though. You may have noticed it takes me several goes to get it right Edited December 13, 2005 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Clare here is a recipe for Mayonnaise........ 2 Egg yolks. Salt and pepper. 1/2 pint of olive oil. Teaspoon of dry English mustard. a squeeze of lemon juice. 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar. Put the yolks into a bowl with a pinch of salt and the mustard and beat well with a wooden spoon. Add the oil, literally a drop at a time, beating all the time. The mixture should be very thick by the time half the oil is added. Beat in the lemon juice, resume pouring in the oil, going more quickly now, but alternating the dribbles of oil with small quantities of vinegar. Note; If the mixture curdles, another egg yolk should be beaten in a seperate bowl, and the curdeled mixture beaten into it drop by drop. _________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just read yours though and that sounds really yummy and you don't say I have to use a spoon to make I will get my cider vinegar and give yours a bash first. Promise You know it takes me several recipes and lots of questions to get it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
