Mayonnaise

Ingredients
1 Egg (the fresher the better, although not straight from the hen otherwise the Mayo will not set)
1/2 Teaspoon Mustard Powder
1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar (you can use herb or fruit flavoured if it will go with the dish the Mayo is for)
300ml Olive Oil (corn or vegetable oil give a light Mayo that is also very good)
Salt

Equipment
1 Blender

The Good Bit
  1. Whack the egg, mustard and and a pinch of salt into the blender and blend for 30 seconds, then add the wine and blend again.
  2. Add the oil now, do this by drizzling it into the mixture with the blender on, have a steady stream going, the sauce will thicken when you have half the oil in but just keep going.
  3. Use straight away or cover and refrigerate.
