- 1 egg yolk
- 2 1/4 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp water
- 3/8 tsp salt
- 3/8 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup light oil such as safflower, grapeseed or canola – do NOT use olive oil
Instructions
- With a Blender
- In a blender or bowl, whisk/beat the egg yolk.
- In a small bowl, combine vinegar, water, lemon juice, salt, and sugar, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve completely.
- Pour half of the vinegar solution into the whisked egg yolk and pulse on and off for 10 seconds.
- With the blender running, drizzle about half of the mixture (slowly, a small amount at a time) until the mixture is very thick.
- Carefully add in the remaining vinegar solution, and then continue to drizzle in the remaining oil in a thin steady stream with the blender running.
- The mayonnaise will be quite thick and cream-colored when it’s ready.
- Finally, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and store it in your refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Yield 1 cup.
- How to Make Copycat Hellmans Mayonnaise without a Blender
- Separate the egg white from the yolk and place the yolk in a medium sized bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine vinegar, water, lemon juice, salt, and sugar, stirring until the salt and sugar dissolve completely.
- Pour half of the vinegar solution into the whisked egg yolk and whisk heavily for 20 seconds.
- While whisking, SLOWLY pour in another 1/2 c. oil. Add the vinegar and the remaining oil in a thin drizzle, whisking the entire time.
