Ingredients for Homemade Miracle Whip

  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Dry Mustard
  • Egg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • White Vinegar

How to Make Homemade Miracle Whip

  1. Combine 1 cup vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon dry mustard (or 2 tablespoons prepared mustard), and 1 large egg (or 1/4 cup water) in a blender.
  2. Blend until well combined.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup water (or 1 egg + 1 tablespoon oil), and 2 tablespoons white vinegar.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes stiff (about 3-5 minutes).
  5. Carefully pour the hot mixture into the blender while it's running on a low speed.
  6. Pulse a few times, then blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, venting the lid occasionally to release steam.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
