Welcome today we will guide you through the process of making delicious homemade mayo. Whether you’re a beginner in the kitchen or a seasoned chef, making mayo from scratch is a rewarding and surprisingly simple process. Let’s get started!
Ingredients:
1 egg
4 1/2 tsp vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 cup oil
Garlic Powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the ingredients: Let egg get to room temperate* and place it in a mixing bowl. Add the Dijon mustard, vinegar or you can use lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Whisk the ingredients: Using a whisk, mix the ingredients together until well combined.
Slowly add the oil: While whisking continuously, slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil. Make sure to pour the oil in a steady stream to allow the mayo to emulsify properly.
Continue whisking: Keep whisking until the mixture thickens and reaches the desired consistency. This may take a few minutes, so be patient.
Adjust seasoning: Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning if necessary, by adding more salt, pepper, garlic powder, or vinegar.
Store in the fridge: Transfer the mayo to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
