Cooking For Engineers

[Markie]

I make Mayo with a Bamix, very easy to do. I just find that the usual recipe is a bit bland.

My ingredients are:
1 whole egg
1 - 2 Tsp Dijon mustard
dash pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon Juice
1 tsp white grape vinegar
Canola Oil

Sometimes I add a little curry powder as well.

This combination is tasty, but I would prefer a tangier taste.
Has anyone tried to add Citric Acid powder?

[Jim Cooley]

No, but the citric acid is a good suggestion. I use it all the time to add tang.

I'f I weren't out of mustard I'd mix up a batch right now just to test the recipe!

Is there some reason you make your mayo from scratch?

I often add stuff to commercially-made mayo, e.g. herbs, spices, etc.
