Handmade Basic Mayonnaise Recipes

Steps:

• Tip the egg yolks and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk together until completely combined. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken. Once you're confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle.
• Once all the oil has been whisked into the eggs and you have a thick, spoonable mayonnaise, whisk in the vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for two days.

Steps:

• Put first 5 ingredients in a clean bowl and whisk until blended.
• Beat in the oil drop by drop.
• As the sauce thickens increase the flow of oil, but be slow and patient. The sauce, when finished will be very thick.
• Taste and adjust seasonings, adding salt or vinegar if necessary.

Steps:

• Place egg yolks in a food processor. (To avoid using raw eggs, substitute yolks from pasteurized eggs.)
• Add mustard and lemon juice. Pulse ingredients until well combined.
• With motor running, add oil in a slow, steady stream (mixture should become thick and emulsified). Season with salt and pepper.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container, up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the egg, mustard powder, and vinegar. Puree for 1 minute, until pale yellow.
• With the processor running, very slowly start to add the oil, 1 tablespoon at a time. Once you've added half of the oil, add the rest in a slow, steady stream. The mayonnaise should begin to thicken to the consistency of prepared mayo, or a bit looser. Add the lemon juice and salt and pulse to incorporate.
• Transfer to a clean, airtight container and store in the refrigerator. The mayonnaise should keep for up to 1 week.
• Enjoy!
