You will love these homemade mayonnaise recipes from scratch. Your food will take on a whole new taste.
Eating homemade mayonnaise used to be a luxury – but not anymore. With a pillowy texture, homemade mayo is nothing like the pale stuff you get out of a jar.
Mayo is the base recipe for other sauces out there – including: Aioli, Remoulade, Thousand Island dressing and much more.
Purists make mayonnaise by hand, but sad to say, I am no purist. I use the good ol’ blender and the mayonnaise is just as good and my arm is not aching from all that whisking.
TIPS:Have all the ingredients at room temperature before you start; the mayo will come together better. Also, because the eggs are not cooked make certain you use very fresh eggs.
Homemade mayo should be stored in an airtight container and can be kept in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
If you hand-mix the recipe, combine the yolk only with the mustard. (no egg whites) Whisking constantly, pour a thin stream of oil until completely incorporated and the mayo is thick. (This is when the whisk is lifted the mayo will stay on and not fall off.)
Next whisk in the lemon juice (or white wine vinegar) and season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy my homemade mayonnaise recipe. We sure do.

TASTES LIKE “HELLMAN’S” MAYONNAISE RECIPE
1 egg yolk
2-1/4 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp water
1/4 tsp salt + 1/8 tsp
1/4 tsp sugar + 1/8 tsp
1/4 tsp lemon juice(bottled okay)
1 cup canola oil
Whisk egg yolk by hand for 15 seconds. Combine vinegar, water, salt, sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl or glass measuring cup. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved.
Add half of this solution to the egg yolk and whisk for another 15 seconds. Pour the canola oil in a plastic squirt bottle (ketchup or mustard bottle you can buy at the store – This is so you can dribble the oil into the egg yolk with one hand while whisking with the other).
Squirt a few drops of oil into the yolk and whisk, continuing to add a little oil at a time while whisking non-stop. When you have used about half of the oil, the mixture should be very thick.
Add the remaining vinegar solution and whisk. Now you can add the remaining oil in a steady stream while whisking until all of the oil has been added.
Your mayonnaise should be thick and off-white in color. Put mayo in old mayonnaise jar and seal with the lid. Leave this on your counter for 8 to 10 hours so the vinegar and lemon juice can kill any potential bacteria in the egg yolk. Then put in refrigerator.
Keep up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Makes one cup.
