Better Than Miracle Whip

By Vanetta

Ingredients

• 3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 3/4 cups light olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Place the egg yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer and attach the paddle. Beat for 1 or 2 minutes until they are thick and sticky.

Add the vinegar, honey, salt and mustard. Beat for 30 seconds more.

Begin adding the oil a tablespoon or two at a time while the mixer is running. Continue beating for 10 seconds or so after each addition, to be sure the egg yolks are absorbing the oil.

After 1/3 to 1/2 cup of oil has been incorporated, the mayonnaise will thicken to the consistency of heavy cream and it will no longer be in danger of separating or curdling. Beat in the remaining oil in a thin, steady stream – it helps to rest the lip of the measuring cup on the edge of the mixing bowl. If the mayo becomes too thick and stiff, beat in drops of vinegar or lemon juice to thin it out, then continue with the oil.

Season to taste, if necessary.

If not using immediately, scrape it into a clean, dry container with a tight lid and refrigerate. It will keep for 5 to 7 days.
