Mayonaise Recipe Questions from the BTVC Book

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am trying to make mayonnaise and the first time I did it is was perfect.

Hasn't been perfect since. I used one egg, Safflower Oil, lemon juice, ground

mustard with a little salt. When I doubled the recipe it filled one 26 oz

peanut butter jar. It tasted just like Hellmans.

1) I used Safflower Oil the first time and it tasted great. I found when I used

Olive oil it came out too bitter. Does anyone have a suggestion with a name

brand as far as selecting an oil to use. Is there anything I need to look for

in the ingrediants if I choose a vegitable oil?

2) I think the last time I did it, I didn't blend all the ingrediants except the

salt and the oil well enough. It came out soupier. Any advice on blending?

3) Ground Mustard. I went to buy some and picked up Colman's Mustard Double

Superfine Mustard Powder. When I read the ingrediants it says Mustard Flour. I

have just sent them an email, but does anyone else have anything to say about

mustard powder?

Thanks,

Val

No brand names. I use either sunflower or safflower oil. If I want a

thicker mayo, I will substitute one-quarter of the regular oil with

melted coconut oil. I wouldn't use anything labeled " vegetable

oil. "

I put my egg, my acid (lemon juice or vinegar), the salt, the pepper, and

the mustard in the processor and blend it really well. Then I trickle the

oil in. If you add the oil too rapidly, it will come out more

liquid.

3) Ground Mustard. I went to buy

some and picked up Colman's Mustard Double Superfine Mustard Powder. When

I read the ingrediants it says Mustard Flour. I have just sent them an

powder?

I use a dollop of homemade Creole mustard for my mayo, but for other

things, I use Penzey's ground yellow mustard seed.
