How to Make Homemade Mayonnaise Sauce



Ingredients:
   
    1 egg yolk, at room temperature
    1 teaspoon dijon mustard or any other mustard would be fine too
    4 tablespoon Tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar
    1/3 cup vegetable oil or cooking oil
    pinch of salt



Making by hand with a whisk:
Place the egg yolks in the bowl and whisk in the vinegar (or lemon juice) mustard, salt and white pepper.
Begin to whisk the egg mixture vigorously and slowly add the oil, either a tablespoon at a time.
Once you have added the oil and the sauce is thick,  Add salt.
If the mayonnaise gets too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of ice water, one at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
Keep refrigerated for up to 5 days.



Making using a  food processor or blender:
Place the  egg yolk, the vinegar (or lemon juice), mustard, salt in the food processor bowl. Pulse several times to combine the ingredients.
Turn the processor on and through the feed tube, pour in the oil in, in a very slow stream.
The eggs and oil will begin to emulsify and thicken.

Once you have added the oil and the sauce is thick. Add salt  even an extra bit of vinegar or lemon juice to your personal taste.
If the mayonnaise gets too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of ice water, one at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.

Butter Milk Buns- 奶油包

Butter Milk Buns are very popular in Malaysia and Brunei. When I tried to look for it in Perth, I could find any. I guessed this must be another Malaysian creation. This is my 2nd attempt with the fillings. The first filling recipes which I copied from a US website was totally useless and a failure. This time I used the recipe from a Brunei friend. It was a success. The Bun dough recipe was from Kuala Terengganu, a specialty over there. The Bun was very soft even after it cooled down. The butter milk was very nice as well. Two of the fillings in my buns burst during baking but that was because I did not cover up the dough well and it leaked out. Rest of the Buns were perfect. *makes 11pcs of medium size Buns Gelatinised dough 50g bread flour 35ml hot boiling water 1.
