Mayonnaise

As the old year draws to an end and the new year begins, we are preparing our New Years Eve celebration meal in thermy. Why not, it cost a lot!

We need mayonnaise for one of tonight's salads. Mayonnaise was one of those store bought products that I struggled to get gluten free for my niece with coeliac condition. So I found a Donna Hay Basic Mayonnaise recipe that has always been a complete success. Another admission here - I love Donna Hay recipes! They are easy to prepare, tasty and elegant. 

Husband used the TM Everyday cookbook recipe. Complete disaster with curdled mayonnaise.  I don't know if it was whipped for too long (2 minutes 30 seconds) or what but it went down the sink.

I could tell husband was not happy (the comment 'I know I should have just bought some at the supermarket' was a give-away to his mindset). So I suggested we use the Donna Hay recipe https://www.donnahay.com.au/recipes/basics/basic-mayonnaise and the TM Everyday cookbook method. All ingredients in the bowl 20 seconds Speed 4 then add the oil very slowly through where the MC should be while the butterfly went at Speed 4 and we stopped at 2 minutes.

Complete success!!! Creamy mayo that tasted delicious.
