Homemade Mayonnaise

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1 heaped tsp english mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1-2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 500 ml cooking oils you could use any oil or a mixture of oils, I used vegetable oil.
  • seasoning

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, add the egg yolks, mustard and lemon juice. With an electric whisk start to whisk this mixture.
  2. When these are combined VERY SLOWLY start to drizzle in the oil. Do not stop whisking! You will see the mixture start to change colour and thicken.
  3. When half of the oil is combined whisk in 1 tbsp of the white wine vinegar, this will thin the mixture a little. Then continue whisking and adding the oil until it's all mixed. Depending on the thickness of the mayonnaise you might want to add the other tbsp of white wine vinegar. Season to taste and it's then ready to use as a sauce or salad dressing :)
  4. This will keep for a week in the fridge, store it in a sterilised jar. Always use pasteurised eggs, there is always a small risk of salmonella with recipes using raw egg.
