  • About

My method of making mayonnaise follows food safety recommendations of heating the yolks. If you are using pasteurized eggs or are not worried about getting food poisoning from raw eggs, make Traditional Mayonnaise (below).

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolks (or 1 egg)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh or bottled lemo

Method

Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, water and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat on very low heat, constantly stirring and scraping bottom of pan with rubber spatula. When mixture begins to thicken, immediately remove pan from heat, stirring constantly. Place pan in cold water to stop the cooking. Transfer mixture to processor and cool for 5 minutes.
