Homemade Mayonnaise

Let's say that you really need some mayo, but doesn't have the cash or time to get any. However, you do have a few of the

basic ingredients to make it! I know that when you go to the grocery store and the packaged mayo is a creamy white color,

well, that mayo has been processed or more water has been added to it. Homemade mayo has a lemony yellow color, but if you 

keep adding water, the color gets lighter and eventually whitish. I hope you enjoy this mayo and use it on any tasty 

sandwich!

Ingredients 

• 2 each large egg yolks
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp white pepper
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• 1 tsp white wine vinegar
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• as needed, cold water
• 12 oz vegetable oil

Directions

1. In a non-reactive mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, salt, white pepper, dry mustard, vinegar, and lemon juice.
2. Rapidly whisk until the mixture is lemony colored, frothy, and will nappe.
3. Gradually add the vegetable oil while whisking to form an emulsion.
4. Once emulsified, incorporate the rest of the oil more quickly to avoid over whisking and causing a metallic reaction
5. in the sauce.
6. If necessary, adjust consistency with cold water.
