Title: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: meganjane on December 05, 2010, 07:08:31 am
This was originally my Mum's recipe and many would recognise it from days gone by. I've adapted it as it had a tendency to separate and was a little bit runny for my liking.

Add to  *:  

3 Tbs plain flour (changed from 2)
2 Tbsp dry mustard
2 heaped tsp salt
2/3 cup (150g) sugar
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3 eggs
1/2 cup (100g) oil
4 tsp dijon mustard (optional)
2 tsp lecithin (optional)

Mix on speed 3 for 30 seconds, then speed 6 for 30 seconds. Meanwhile, measure out 2 cups (410g) milk and 1 cup (230g) brown vinegar.  Add both slowly while continuing to mix on speed 2-3.
Cook on 90 degrees C for 30 minutes on speed 3. (changed from 15 - 20 and 80 to 90)

This is a very versatile mayonnaise. It's excellent in sandwiches and wraps and as a base for other salad dressings.

To make Coleslaw Dressing:
Mix mayo with some of the juice from a can of pineapple - add the pineapple to the coleslaw

Ranch Dressing
Mix equal parts mayo and sour cream. Add some chopped parsley and dill

Potato Salad Dressing
Mix equal parts with either sour cream or yoghurt and add some chopped gherkin and mint

Curried Salad Dressing
Mix equal parts with cream or sour cream and add 1 tsp curry powder and 1/2 tsp dry mustard

This should get really thick. If it's too runny, cook longer or just turn up to 100 and cook a further 3 minutes.

Thanks for this MJ. I'll use it over Christmas. Mum never made this one, hers was the condensed milk and vinegar and mustard.

Thats what my mum used as well. Often she would go to the fridge to get the condensed milk to find my brother had eaten it and put the empty tin back in the fridge !!

Nice recipe MJ and sounds like it doesn't make a huge quantity. We don't use much mayo so I tend not to make my own as it would go off

Actually, it makes quite a bit! Just over 3 cups.

Thanks for the recipe, but is it really 1.5 tablespoons of salt?
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: meganjane on February 21, 2011, 12:53:51 pm
Yep! You can reduce it, but it's not overly salty. It's quite a bit of mayo.

I just checked my original recipe from Mum, and I have made a mistake in the amount of salt. I just made another lot and, though it wasn't overly salty for me, it may be for others.
Her recipe said 2 heaped spoonfuls of salt. I changed this to 1 1/2 Tbsp as I thought that would be about right. But, I think it's meant to be 2 heaped teaspoons of salt.

Try it with that, then add more if needed! My family absolutely adore this mayo and it's lower fat than others.

2 heaped teaspoons of salt.
Hi there - I have been asked to do salads (including potato and coleslaw) for a good friend's birthday - for 80 people!  Of course I wanted to make my own mayo (ever the opportunity to promote the thermomix!) but the logistics of making "proper" mayo for 10 kilos of salad was daunting - not to mention that I had seriously underestimated the ingredients I would have needed.

THANKS to your recipe I quickly whipped up over 4 litres of mayo - LOVELY!  And... it is delicious and perfect!!

Just a hint - I substituted 40 g of honey for the equivalent weight of sugar and it really was delicious!

Great effort Bee, bet you are sick of the sight of mayonnaise and salads after that mammoth task  :D :D

Post by: djinni373 on May 09, 2011, 06:45:27 am
This is our favourite mayonnaise and I love it because it is cooked (not keen on raw eggs). It is tangy and delicious. I halve the recipe (using two small eggs) and it makes two jars and lasts us about two weeks. Thank you meganjane for sharing this yummy recipe :)

Actually?  It was SOOOO easy!   nearly 3 hours Thermy time, but only 10 minutes MY time!  it is now the mayo of choice in our house!
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: meganjane on May 13, 2011, 01:49:43 pm
So glad it's a hit.
I like the idea of the honey instead of sugar. I use this to make so many different things such as Tartare Sauce, Coleslaw dressing and I even add it to Creamy Chicken dishes. It's just the best.

hi meganjane
i made this yesterday as i was really interested to try a mayo that is cooked and not raw.
all i can say is yummm..  it is very nice, and it made heaps! it tastes just like a commercial mayo i use to buy. i had no brown vinegar so i used white and it turned out nicely.
how long do you think this will keep in the fridge?
thanks for another great recipe

Could someone please let me know how thick this is - a spreading consistency for sandwiches or pouring for coleslaw?
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: judydawn on August 26, 2011, 08:43:12 am
Wonder, have another read of the recipe and MJ's comments below it.  I take it that it is thick enough to spread on bread and if you want to use it for coleslaw you thin it a little with pineapple juice. It sounds to me like you can make it whatever you want it to be with the addition of sour cream, yoghurt or pineapple juice.
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: Wonder on August 26, 2011, 08:53:48 am
Thanks Judy. My Mum used to do one with very similar ingredients but it was  pouring consistency  so I was just wanting to double check as while I liked the flavour I was never a fan of the texture.
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: djinni373 on August 26, 2011, 02:36:10 pm
Em, this is our favourite mayo and the longest a bottle has lasted in our fridge is just over a week. (This is a yummy mayo and usually doesn't last the week) 

Wonder, this mayo is spreading consistency. As Judy says, you would have to thin it to make a pouring consistency.  :)

I'm a mayonnaise freak and have tried most of them and use it on almost everything, I am in the middle of cooking this and IT IS AMAZING.......
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: meganjane on November 05, 2012, 11:56:07 am
Glad you liked it curly!

It's my most requested mayo. I use it in everything!

I'm looking o make a wasabi mayonnaise but really don't lie raw eggs, does anyone know if this would take on the flavour of the wasabi ok or would it compete to much with the other flavour a?
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: meganjane on November 07, 2012, 12:55:21 am
Wonder, this is just a tangy mayo really and I'm sure it would be fine with wasabi. You could use Rice Wine Vinegar to give a more asian flavour. Perhaps make a smaller quantity to trial it.
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: Wonder on November 07, 2012, 01:57:29 am
Thanks MJ. I'm not much of a mayo eater but DH loved a wasabi mayonnaise we used to be able to buy but I can't get it anymore so thought I would give making it a go. I was worried the other flavours may have been too strong. I'm assuming it would still work if I left out the mustard etc. I'll have to give it a go.

Post by: mab19 on November 20, 2012, 05:20:10 am
I made this mayo at the weekend and DH and DD declared it the best mayo they have ever eaten.   DD asked to take some home with her.  Thanks for the recipe MJ.

My mum would have been chuffed to know that her recipe is still going and has been so well liked!

What sort of oil is best for this Mayo? Grapeseed?
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: judydawn on December 09, 2012, 01:01:05 pm
Dz, on MJ's blog she suggests either sunflower, grapeseed or ricebran oil for this recipe.
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: meganjane on December 09, 2012, 03:04:51 pm
Thanks JD.  Yes, any light unflavored oil will do. You can even leave the oil out! My Mum didn't use any in her original recipe, that's my tweak to get a creamier consistency.

How long will the keep in fridge MJ please?
Thanks

I've just made a batch of this too - first time I've ever made a cooked mayo.  It makes heaps so could quite easily be halved for smaller families. I might have to give some of mine away as it made 4 jars of varying sizes.

Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: droverjess on December 11, 2012, 08:52:18 pm
I made 5 x 8oz jars.
Need to know how long can safely keep it?
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: judydawn on December 11, 2012, 09:10:15 pm
DJ, Djinni said she has made half quantity - her 2 jars lasted 2 weeks she said so not sure if she meant they ate it all in 2 weeks or it has a fridge life of 2 weeks.
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: droverjess on December 12, 2012, 07:15:41 am
Ok thanks.

I asked MJ directly.

Now think mine is too runny.

Will recook with more flour, or cornflour and MJ says it lasts 3 months in fridge.
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: judydawn on December 12, 2012, 12:31:56 pm
That's great then DJ, I can safely give mine away without insisting they eat it quickly.
Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: droverjess on December 12, 2012, 09:11:30 pm
I recooked mine today and added another two tsps flour mixed in a wee bit milk.
Cooked another 20 mins on a mix of 80 and 90'.
It is definitely  thicker and I only got 4.5 pots after re cooking and repotting.


Title: Re: Best Cooked Mayonnaise
Post by: meganjane on December 13, 2012, 11:26:58 am
Sorry guys, I've actually modified it myself as I found it rather thin, but have not got on here to change my recipe. I've done it now.

Thanks DJ for getting hold of me. I'm only on here occasionally for very brief moments as the new branding for my skincare business is keeping me busy with labels etc.

 ;D Thank you! Yes, I am. My mum would be pleased too, to know that her recipe is still going and being enjoyed.

Made this again during the great egg glut (which is ongoing :D). Makes beautiful egg and lettuce sandwiches on 5 seed bread with fresh lettuce from the garden. Mmmm

:o Just looked back through this topic and discovered I have been making this for more than 3 years. I make half quantities of this during the cooler months as it keeps really well.

Wow, that's great to hear! I love this recipe and so does my family. It never lasts very long. ;D
