Ingredients

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 1½ cups olive oil (Mild)
  • ¼ tsp mustard
  • 4 Tbsp vinegar or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Separate the eggs.
  3. Whisk egg yolks, mustard and vinegar in a medium bowl.
  4. Using an electric whisk, add oil, first drop by drop, then in a slow, steady stream.
    (If mixture curdles or splits, add a little hot water and beat vigorously.)
  5. Add salt and white pepper to taste.

Notes

Your Mayo should not be made in large quantities, for the oil separates from the remainder of the ingredients if it is allowed to stand too long.
If it is thoroughly beaten and kept extremely cold, it may perhaps keep for a week, but keeping it longer than that is not advisable.

Mayonnaise Recipe Variations

  1. Before serving, it may be thinned by beating either Light Cream or sour cream into it.
  2. It may be made fluffy and light and its quantity may be increased by beating Whipped Cream into it.
  3. Garlic Mayonnaise
    Add a clove of finely chopped garlic to step one for this creamy Spanish inspired mayonnaise.
    Use with anything from roast veggies to a tasty sandwich.
  4. Herb Mayonnaise
    Stir a tablespoon of fresh chopped herbs through the finished mayonnaise.
    Choose basil, dill, parsley or any other choice of herb.
  5. Chilli Mayonnaise
    Substitute a tablespoon of olive oil for a tablespoon of chilli oil to create a spicy mayonnaise.
    This is ideal to serve with wedges or chicken skewers.
