Basic Mayonnaise Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • To stabilize your mixing bowl, position a wet dishcloth twisted into a ring on the countertop. Place a large mixing bowl on the dishcloth ring and vigorously whisk together the beaten egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice and vinegar for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Pour oils into a 2-cup measuring cup with a spout. Whisking constantly and briskly, add oil in a slow steady stream. (Note: Finished mayonnaise should have a smooth, well-blended consistency. If it appears to have separated, continue whisking vigorously to emulsify.) Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Make It Ahead: Make recipe and keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Makes 1 1/2 cups

    I have tried making mayo at least half a dozen times. What I get is interesting but not what I'm looking for. I still use Best Foods. I know, the great DIY dude touting Best Foods. What can I say? Best Foods works. This looks a good recipe and it's been a while sense my last go at this. I'll give it a go. A lot of Mayo to use in 2 days.
