Mayonnaise Recipes

Ingredients :

1 egg yolk

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp mustard powder

1/4 pint olive oil

1 tbsp white wine vinegar

white pepper

1. Place the egg yolk in a bowl and gradually beat in the salt, mustard and pepper to taste, using a balloon whisk.

2. Add the oil, drop by drop, whisking vigorously after each addition so that is absorbed completely before the next addition.

3. After about half the oil has been added, the mayonnaise will start to look shiny and thick.

4. If so, the oil can now be added more rapidly, about a tbsp at a time.

5. As the mixture becomes very thick, add a little vinegar to soften it, then add the remaining oil.

6. Blend in the rest of the vinegar.

7. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

8. The consistency should be like whipped cream.

9. Use straight away, or store in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 2 weeks.
