Butter Mayo

This recipe was inspired by us eating the Beef Butter Bacon & Egg challenge. The difference between this and Hollandaise is the amount of eggs and adding mustard

Ingredients

  • 2 Egg yolks
  • 1 Tbls Mustard
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice (you can use 2 tsp and eliminate vinegar)
  • 1 tsp Apple cider vinegar (you can use 2 tsp and eliminate lemon juice)
  • 1 cup Melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp Redmond Real salt (salt to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp tara gum (optional for a creamier mayo)

Instructions

  • Melt you butter and allow to cool for a few minutes
  • In a mason Jar, add egg yolks, mustard, salt, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and quickly mix with an immersion blender (you can also use a blender)
  • With immersion blender running, add a little butter to the mixture and blend until it thickens.
  • Continue adding butter a little at a time and blend. Make sure you don't add too much butter at once or the mayo will break
  • As the mayo begins to thicken, you begin to slowly drizzle remaining butter into the mixture
  • Once all the butter is added, continue blending for a few seconds to thicken up the mayo. The longer you blend it, the thicker it will be but it will harden more in the fridge
  • For a creamier mayo and one that doesn't solidify as much in the fridge, add 1/4 tsp of tara gum
  • Store in an air tight container for up to 10 days

Notes

A few tips:
  • You can make this in a traditional blender or with a whisk.  Just slowly pour the butter in just as you do with the immersion blender.
  • For a creamier mayo, add 1/4 tsp tara gum after all butter is added.
  • For a mayo that doesn't harden up as much in the fridge, don't blend as long.
  • You can also use whole eggs instead of just the yolks
