Making mayonnaise using a stick (hand) blender:
All ingredients should be 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. This technique will not work well in a wide bowl, etc.
-
Add all of the other ingredients (spices, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice, etc),
except canola oil, on top of the egg, in bottom of jar. -
Carefully pour 1 cup of canola oil on top of all of the ingredients in the bottom of the jar.
-
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 the bottom of the jar for
about 5-seconds, until you see mayonnaise forming under stick blender’s mixing blades. -
Slowly pull the running stick blender upward until the mixing blades reach the top of the jar, taking about 5-seconds to go from the bottom of the jar to the top. Turn off stick blender.
-
The stick blender will turn the oil into mayonnaise as it is pulled slowly to the top of the jar.
Makes about 1 1/4 cups of mayonnaise.
