Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1.5 teaspoons White vinegar
- 1.5 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1.25 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Canola oil
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, white vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
2. Begin to slowly add the canola oil while whisking continuously. Start with just a few drops at a time to allow the oil to emulsify with the egg mixture.
3. Once the mixture starts to thicken, you can increase the rate at which you add the oil, but continue whisking consistently to ensure a smooth texture.
4. After all the oil has been incorporated, stir in the water to adjust the consistency of the mayonnaise. Add more water in small increments if you prefer a thinner mayonnaise.
5. Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add a touch more salt or sugar to balance the flavors to your liking.
6. Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy as a spread, dip, or dressing!
