Prep/Cooking Time: 0-15 Minutes

Printable Version

 Ingredients

  • Egg yolk
  • Dijon mustard
  • White wine vinegar
  • Lemon juice
  • Canola oil (or other of choice)
  • Salt
  • White pepper

Instructions

  • Place the egg yolks in a steel mixing bowl to make by hand (easier in a food mixer)
  • Add to the yolks the mustard and the vinegar
  • Whisk so as to bring the 3 ingredients together
  • Whilst whisking continuously drizzle the oil into the bowl (slowly so the mix accepts the oil)
  • The mixture will continue to thicken as it emulsifies with the oil
  • IF YOU DO THIS TOO FAST YOU WILL SEE AS THE MIX WILL SEPARATE
  • Once all the oil has been added squeeze in the lemon juice
  • Season the mayonnaise to taste and reserve in the fridge in an air tight container till needed.

Use pasteurized yolks where possible as it increases the shelf life and is suitable for pregnant women.
