Homemade Mayonnaise

Homemade Mayonnaise

Ingredients:
2 large egg yolks
3 Tbs. lemon juice or vinegar or combo of each
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup oil - can use canola or vegtable can used extra light olive oil because of its very faint (almost nonexistant) flavor and nutritional and health properties.

Separate egg, whisked in a little lemon juice or vinegar, mustard and salt then started adding the oil. Use a 1/4 teaspoon measure to add the first 1/4 cup of oil a few drops at a time.

Mix 2 yolks, lemon juice, salt into my mixing bowl and whisked until smooth and light.

After about 1/3 cup of oil has been whisked in, you can speed up the pouring a bit. Make sure the mixture is back in emulsion before pouring any more oil.

Whisked the oil, a few drops at a time, into the mixture. I made sure the mixture was smooth and well integrated before pouring the next few drops of oil. The whisking will suspend the oil into the yolk mixture and adding the oil a little at a time will keep the mixture in a state of emulsion - which is what we want.

Add any extras, a spoonful of dijon mustard and extra salt and black pepper, garlic herbs all optional. Don't make to much it should hold for half a week to a week.

Whisking takes about 10 or 15 minutes
