Ingredients

1 egg yolk

1 c light oil

1 lemon

Salt & pepper

Directions

Juice the lemon. You'll need between 1 and 2 Tbsp of juice, to taste.

Mix the egg olk, and lemon juice along with a pinch of salt and pepper with a whisk.

SLOWLY add oil while whisking quickly. When I say slowly, I mean as little as a few drops at a time.

The mayonaise should start to thicken (emulsify) after you've added 2-3 tablespoons of oil. If not, you should start over.

If the mayonnaise is too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water.

Once you are out of oil, adjust to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

My variation is to start with:
one whole egg = mustard
mix it up by hand
and then start adding oil (drip by drip or a bit faster).

= should be
one whole egg mustard
(I confess, I am mustard fan ...)

Making mayo is so, so easy now! I just tried your recipe but added a pinch of cayenne. Perfect!
