Mayonnaise

Ingredients

• 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon cold water
• ¾ cup neutral oil such as safflower or canola

1 cup

Preparation

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, salt and 1 teaspoon cold water until frothy. Whisking constantly, slowly dribble in the oil until mayonnaise is thick and oil is incorporated. When the mayonnaise emulsifies and starts to thicken, you can add the oil in a thin stream, instead of drop by drop.
