Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 to 2 minutes
Makes: about 1-1/4 cups

What You Need

2
EGG YOLKS
2
Tbsp. fresh lemon juice OR vinegar
2
Tbsp. water
1
tsp. sugar
1
tsp. dry mustard
1/2
tsp. salt
Dash pepper
1
cup olive oil OR vegetable oil

Here’s How

  1. WHISK egg yolks, lemon juice, water, sugar, mustard, salt and pepper in small saucepan until blended.
  2. COOK over very low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles in 1 or 2 places. REMOVE from heat immediately; let cool 4 minutes.
  3. POUR mixture into blender; cover. With motor running on high speed, ADD oil slowly, in a thin stream; blend until mayonnaise is thick and smooth. Turn blender off occasionally to scrape down sides with rubber spatula. REFRIGERATE, covered.

Enjoy

  • For a flavor accent, add minced fresh herbs, such as tarragon, basil or chives, minced garlic, horseradish, wasabi powder, chipotle peppers or sundried tomatoes to the mayonnaise.
  • Although white wine vinegar is traditional, for subtle flavor variations, try champagne, sherry, balsamic or tarragon-flavored vinegar.
  • Use homemade mayonnaise to make Tartar Sauce or Green Goddess and other creamy salad dressings.

Insider Info

  • Don't be in a hurry! Add oil very slowly while blending. If oil is added too quickly, or if too much oil is used, the mayonnaise may separate and you'll have to start over from scratch.
  • Food processor method: Mayonnaise can be made in a food processor. Use the plastic blade if you have one.
  • Whisk method: This takes much longer and is more work. In the beginning, add only a few drops of oil at a time, whisking well after each addition. After about 1/3 of the oil has been incorporated and the mayonnaise has begun to thicken, the oil can be added slowly in a thin stream, whisking well after each addition.
