Gross!!!!

I had a Slimming World one made with fromage frais but it was disgusting so I won't give it to you! I'm sure someone will have one

This is the recipe I use. It is a lot easier if you have an electric whisk : wouldn't think of making it by hand, otherwise.
I use a light olive oil and extra garlic to make aioli, otherwise sunflower oil instead of groundnut oil ( a lot cheaper). It is very important to use a quality egg: a cheap egg would taste horrible.

Hi Rikki,

There's an older thread with some mayonnaise recipes that may help so I've added your thread to it to keep the recipes together.

I'm up in the middle of the night, because I wasted 12 eggs yesterday trying to make mayo, more importantly I broke the wonderful whisk attachment for my lovely old mixer.
I think I must have been overbeating as it thickened OK, but then separated every time. I've made it once a week for the last 4 weeks and it's worked first time every time until yesterday. I've been making it as I wanted it with FR eggs, but for what I wasted I could have bought the best organic stuff

I googled 'homemade mayonnaise' and came up with this one from St.Delia.

She recommends only using the egg yolks and that the finished product should keep in a screw top jar for a week in the fridge.

Yep. Over working mayo makes it "break". Try my instructions near the top of the first page.

Hello

I have a bit of a glut of eggs from the chickens at the moment so thought I would have a go at making some mayonnaise.

First attempt was a bit of a disaster so any foolproof recipes or hints and tips would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance :T
