Mayonnaise Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 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.

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

    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).
