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
Directions
Step 1
Add the egg yolks, sugar, white vinegar, lemon juice, salt, dry mustard, and paprika to a medium-sized mixing bowl or food processor.
Step 2
Whisk or blend the ingredients together until they are fully combined and the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
After adding all the oil, pause to scrape down the sides of the bowl or processor if needed to ensure everything is well blended.
Step 5
Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition until the desired consistency is achieved.
Step 6
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more vinegar, sugar, salt, or lemon juice to suit your personal preference.
Step 7
Transfer the homemade Miracle Whip to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Step 8
Use as a spread, dip, or dressing just as you would with store-bought Miracle Whip!
