Mayonnaise

Here's a simple recipe of mayonnaise



Ingredients

2 egg yolks

1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

1 cup neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or grapeseed

Instructions

Whisk the egg yolks: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and Dijon mustard (if using) until well combined.

Slowly add the oil: While continuously whisking the egg yolks, slowly pour in the oil in a thin, steady stream. Start with a very slow drizzle and gradually increase the flow as the mixture thickens.

Emulsify the mixture: Continue whisking until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, which should take around 5-7 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the mixture has doubled in volume and has a thick, creamy texture.

Taste and adjust: Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more lemon juice, salt, or mustard to taste.

Tips and Variations

Use room temperature ingredients for easier emulsification.

Whisk slowly and steadily to avoid breaking the emulsion.

If the mixture breaks, don't worry! Simply start again with a new egg yolk and slowly whisk in the broken mayonnaise.

Add flavorings like garlic, herbs, or grated ginger to create different flavor profiles.

Use homemade mayonnaise as a base for sauces like aioli or ranch dressing.

Enjoy your homemade mayonnaise!
