February 2015 Monthly Project

Our February monthly project was to make Mayonnaise.

I was interested to see if I could actually make Mayo.  And after reading Laura's wonderful blog post about her scrambled oil eggs, I became a little nervous about the whole mayo making process.

I used this recipe for this project.

But we decided to try and see what happened.  And here is what happened:

Here are the egg yolks, salt, vinegar and sugar- looks yummy right??

S-L-O-W-L-Y letting the oil dribble in the yolk mixture while the blender is blending

Look- I did it.  I made Mayo :)

 As Laura pointed out, slowly adding your oil is the key to making homemade mayonnaise.  Thankfully, we don't use a lot of mayo so I don't see myself making this anytime in the future.  I used it to make ranch dressing for my lunch salads.  It was yummy :)
