We're going to show you how to make home-made mayonnaise by hand. You can use a food processor, stand mixer or blender for this. For the best end result, it doesn't really matter if you do the hard work of using a whisk or let the food processor do the work for you. First thing you'll have to do is choose which oil you are going to use. We've used sunflower oil, this is because we like the way it has almost no taste. Avoid using oils that have a strong flavor, like pure extra virgin olive oil. Try using some different kinds of oil to find out which taste you like best. Have you ever tried grape seed oil or mixing oils? We mostly like our mayonnaise a little sour, but sometimes we add a little bit of honey to it. You should try it sometimes, the flavors are simply amazing.

Ingredients needed

  • 6 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon (smooth) mustard
  • 0,5 dl white wine vinegar
  • 8,5 dl sunflower oil
  • pepper and salt to taste
