Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed)
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
Instructions
Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and salt into a medium-sized mixing bowl or the bowl of a food processor.
Whisk (or blend) the ingredients together until well-combined and slightly frothy.
While continuously whisking (or running the food processor), begin to slowly drizzle the neutral oil into the mixture. Start with a very thin stream, adding the oil gradually to allow the emulsion to form.
Continue to drizzle the oil while whisking steadily. The mixture will thicken and become creamy as more oil is incorporated.
Once all the oil has been added, stir in the white vinegar to balance the flavors and enhance the tanginess.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, lemon juice, or maple syrup to suit your preferences.
Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together before serving.
