(I do sometimes too)

I have been known to put frosting into coffee-- especially the raspberry Cream cheese frosting!

I never would have thought to put frosting into coffee, that's a new one on me.

Does anyone here make their own mayonnaise? I was wanting to try making some but there are a mess of recipes out there.

Does anyone here make their own mayonnaise? I was wanting to try making some but there are a mess of recipes out there.

This is a good no frills recipe:

Mayonnaise
Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown
Show: Good Eats | Episode: The Mayo Clinic


Total: 10 min
Prep: 10 min
Yield: 9 fluid ounces
Level: Intermediate

Ingredients​

1 egg yolk*
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 pinches sugar
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup oil, safflower or corn

Directions​

In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit, (which means you've got an emulsion on your hands).
Once you reach that point you can relax your arm a little (but just a little) and increase the oil flow to a constant (albeit thin) stream. Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.

Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Thanks Ron. Do you know if the safflower or corn oil could be switched out for olive oil?

Yes, it was mild enough that the roads weren’t icy. We are 2 hours late this morning.
