Homemade Mayonaise

Homemade Mayonaise 


Ingredients

  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 3 TBS sugar
  • 1 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 cup oil, corn 

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit. Once you reach that point you can  increase the oil flow to a constant stream. Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.
Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for  1/2 hours then refrigerate.
