Mayonnaise
- 1 whole Egg Yolk
- 3/4 teaspoons Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoons Table Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Dry Ground Mustard
- 1 teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
- 4 teaspoons Lemon Juice (fresh Squeezed!)
- 1 cup Canola Oil
- PREP: 1.
- Add the egg yolk to the bowl along with the sugar, salt and dry mustard.
- 2.
- Measure out 1 tsp of vinegar and 4 tsp of lemon juice in a small measuring cup.
- 3.
- Add oil to plastic squeeze bottle.
- PROCEDURE: Mayo-making is like a roller-coaster; once you get on you cant get off.
- If you stop whisking it gives the oil and the water a chance to separate so dont stop whisking!
- 1.
- Whisk together the egg yolk and the dry ingredients until you see that the yolk has lightened in color and become smooth.
- 2.
- Pour in half the vinegar/lemon juice mixture.
- Again, whisk until smooth.
- The mixture will be very loose at this point.
- 3.
- Start streaming in the oil with one hand and whisking with the other.
- Start the stream very slowly, just a few drops at a time.
- You can go faster once you get the emulsion a little more established.
- I generally start pouring faster once Ive got 1/4 of the oil in.
- 4.
- About halfway through the oil you will notice the emulsion getting thick and difficult to stir.
- When this happens put the oil down and slowly whisk in the rest of the vinegar/lemon juice mixture.
- Whisk until the mixture thins out slightly and you no longer notice it on the surface of the mayo.
- 5.
- Whisk in the remainder of the oil.
- 6.
- Once youve got all the oil in whisk it for just a few seconds more to make sure youve got it well blended.
- 7.
- Pour it into a jar and let it sit on the kitchen counter for 2 hours then refrigerate for up to a week.
