Quick & Creamy Homemade Mayo
Whip up fresh, delicious mayonnaise at home in minutes. Forget store-bought; homemade is superior in flavor and texture. You'll need just a few simple ingredients and a way to emulsify them.
Blender Method
Combine 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar, and a pinch of salt in a blender. Blend on medium speed. Very slowly, while the blender is running, drizzle in 1 cup of neutral oil (like canola or vegetable) in a thin, steady stream. Continue blending until the mixture is thick and creamy, resembling commercial mayonnaise. Adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired. This method is fast and foolproof.
Hand Whisk Method
If you prefer a hands-on approach, whisk the egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice/vinegar, and salt in a bowl. Gradually whisk in the oil, a few drops at a time initially, then in a slow, thin stream as the mixture begins to thicken. Continue whisking vigorously until fully emulsified and creamy. This requires a bit more arm work but offers great control.
Enjoy your fresh, homemade mayonnaise!
