but it was too runny both times. I used a hand mixer with one beater (the other is lost) and the first batch I dripped the oil in by teaspoon and it ended up really really runny. The second batch, I started out with an eye dropper, and then drizzled in by teaspoon, and it was just a little less runny. Any ideas? I know the speed of the oil being added is crucial, but if I went any slower of a drizzle, there wouldn't be anything dripping in.
I'll try the blender next time. I used up all my avocado oil on the two bad batches :(
Thanks! I'll keep trying!

I would think it would. People used to make mayonnaise by hand before they had small appliances. Do you have a blender? I have heard of some people making it in the blender....or with a whip attachment on the mixer.

I have always done it in a blender and I agree that the oil is the tricky part. The emulsification is a thing that requires being slow and patient.

Okay. What is the emulsification and how does one know if it is happening? See, I'm really ignorant about this.
