Blender Mayonnaise

Blender Mayonnaise
1 egg
2 T. vinegar (I use white)
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. dry mustard
1 t. white granulated sugar
1 cup oil (I use either corn, peanut, or canola)
Put egg, vinegar, salt, and dry mustard into blender or food processor. Turn on machine and let run for a few seconds to mix everything together. With machine running, slowly add oil, in a thin stream. When oil is all in, open machine, scrape down sides, replace lid, and run for another few seconds. Put mayonnaise into container (I use a pint jar) and allow to sit at room temperature for about 2 hours. This is to give the vinegar time to kill any bacteria that might be present in the egg. It works better at room temperature. Refrigerate.
