Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon mustard powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cooking oil (like avocado or olive oil)
- 0.25 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg yolk, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, mustard powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Begin to add the oil very slowly, almost drop by drop, while whisking continuously to emulsify the ingredients. This is crucial to prevent the mayo from breaking.
Step 4
As the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify, you can increase the speed at which you add the oil. Continue to whisk constantly until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is thick and creamy.
Step 5
Season with fresh cracked black pepper and more salt, if desired, and mix to ensure even distribution.
Step 6
Transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar with a lid and refrigerate it for at least an hour before use to enhance the flavors.
Step 7
Store homemade mayonnaise in the refrigerator and use within a week for the best quality.
