    Homemade Best Foods / Hellmanns Mayonnaise using stick

    blender

    1 whole egg, medium or large size
    1 Tablespoon lemon juice (bottled ok)
    1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
    1 teaspoon dry mustard (or 1/4 tsp prepared yellow mustard)
    1/4 teaspoon table salt
    pinch white pepper
    1 cup vegetable (canola) oil, room temperature

    Break egg into bottom of 1-quart
    canning jar or other tall narrow jar
    that allows you to immerse the mixing blades of a stick
    blender all the way to the bottom. The jar should be only

    slightly
    wider than the end of the stick blender.

    Add lemon juice, vinegar, mustard,
    table salt and white pepper.

    Add 1 cup of vegetable oil.

    Place mixing blades of stick blender (turned off) all the
    way to the bottom of the jar, pressing down over the egg.

    Turn stick blender on high speed, hold in
    place at bottom of jar for about
    5-seconds until you see mayonnaise form
    under stick blender's mixing blades.

    Slowly pull stick blender upward until the mixing blades
    reaches top of jar, taking about
    5 more seconds. The stick blender will turn
    the oil into mayonnaise as it is pulled slowly to the
    top of the jar.

    After chilling in the fridge, this mayonnaise gets
    slightly thicker and tastes very much like Best Foods/
    Hellmann's Mayonnaise.

    Makes about 1-1/3 cups of mayonnaise.
