Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Dry mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 cup Canola oil (or neutral-flavored oil)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Add the egg yolks, sugar, white vinegar, lemon juice, salt, dry mustard, and paprika to a medium-sized mixing bowl or food processor.
Whisk or blend the ingredients together until they are fully combined and the sugar has dissolved.
While continuously whisking (or running the food processor), very slowly drizzle in the canola oil. Begin with a few drops at a time, then gradually increase to a steady but thin stream once the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify.
After adding all the oil, pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl or processor if needed to ensure everything is well blended.
Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more vinegar, sugar, salt, or lemon juice to suit your personal preference.
Transfer the homemade Miracle Whip to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Use as a spread, dip, or dressing just as you would with store-bought Miracle Whip!
