Ingredients
1 standard glass of chilled milk
1 espresso cup of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 sachet of unflavoured gelatine
1 espresso cup of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 sachet of unflavoured gelatine
Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at major supermarkets like Countdown, New World, or Pak'nSave. Look for unflavoured gelatine in the baking aisle, and standard vegetable or canola oil in the oil and vinegar section. If preferred, sunflower oil serves as a good alternative for a neutral flavour.
Preparation method
- Prepare the unflavoured gelatine according to the packet instructions and set aside.
- Place the chilled milk, oil, and vinegar (or lemon juice) into the blender jug.
- Add the prepared gelatine to the blender.
- Blend all the ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up before serving.
