Help needed with Annabel Langbein's Speedy Mayonnaise March 04, 2018 05:58AM |

I have made this mayonnaise regularly since the book came out, adding other bits as I felt like it. ALWAYS successfully. I started off using the recommended stick whiz, but moved on to my bullet, which worked just as well.
Then recently I had a failure. I used avocado oil, and I put the failure down to that. The next batch I used my usual rice bran oil. Another fail. I wondered if I had misjudged the lemon juice as I used lemon juice ice blocks. Third time I followed the recipe to a T. Fail. Okay, I thought, that's my "three", so yesterday I made a half batch. Fail.
Any suggestions? I'm at a loss. It's a new bottle of oil. Could it be that?
Help please! Thanks, Janet

If you've tried and failed with 3 different oils, it's hardly likely that the new bottle of oil is at fault. Is it too bitter, splitting, clumping? What's the problem? I'm not familiar with the recipe so have no other suggestions to make.

I wondered if anyone else had the same problem and found this on Annabel's website [webcache.googleusercontent.com]
It seems ingredients at room temperature (as TPANDAV) has mentioned is a possible cause, and another possible cause is whizzing the mayo for too long if the oil has separated.

The method is just to throw it al in and whizz - must be a stick blender because of the speed (but a bullet woks as well). It was only the first lot that used different oil. The rest I used rice bran (which is what I have always used in the past). I've used frozen lemon in the past with no ill effects, but did wonder if Id used too much in one batch. I've never used room temp eggs.
What is so frustrating is that I've made it hundreds of times with great success, to the extent that I am extremely casual with measuring ingredients, or even which ingredients to throw in, but now I can't make it to save myself. The only think I can think to do is to buy another bottle of oil and try again. It wouldn't be the humidity would it? I've never even though about the weather before.
Thanks for the suggestions.
