Instructions
How to make by hand:
Place the egg yolk and mustard into a heavy glass bowl and whisk until completely combined.
Add half a teaspoon of oil and whisk until completely emulsified.
Add a teaspoon of oil and whisk again until your mix is completely emulsified. Repeat this process until all of the oil is added and you have a thick mayo.
After the first 5 or 6 teaspoons, you can add more oil at a time.
When you have a rich creamy mayo, add in the lemon juice or vinegar and salt, then whisk again to bring everything together.
In a Food Processor *YOU WILL NEED TO DOUBLE THE RECIPE*
Add the mustard and egg yolk into the bowl of your food processor and blend until it comes together.
Now slowly begin pouring in your oil with the food processor running, you can speed up the flow of oil as your mayonnaise begins to get some structure.
When you have a rich creamy mayo, add in the lemon juice or vinegar and salt, then blend once more to bring together, and job done.
