Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable)
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, white vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, salt, mustard powder, paprika, and garlic powder until smooth.
Begin adding the neutral oil very slowly, just a few drops at a time, while vigorously whisking. This will help the mixture emulsify and create a thick, creamy base.
Once the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify, you can add the oil in a slow, steady stream while continuing to whisk constantly. Be patient and ensure that the oil is fully incorporated before adding more.
When all the oil has been incorporated, whisk in the water to adjust the consistency to resemble that of store-bought Miracle Whip.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more sugar, vinegar, or salt as desired to balance the tangy and sweet flavors.
Transfer the homemade Miracle Whip to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using to allow the flavors to meld.
Use within 1 week and keep refrigerated.
