Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chili vinegar
- 1 teaspoon tarragon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the dry mustard, salt, cayenne, white pepper, caster sugar, a few drops of white wine vinegar, and the egg yolk. Whisk them together until well blended.
-
Incorporate Oil: While continuously whisking the mixture, slowly add the oil. It’s important to add the oil gradually to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth consistency. Take your time with this step to achieve the desired creamy texture.
-
Maintain Consistency: Pay close attention to the mixture’s consistency as you add the oil. It should neither curdle nor become too thick. Insufficient whisking, poor quality ingredients, or adding the oil too quickly can lead to undesirable results.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Once the oil is fully incorporated, gradually add the remaining white wine vinegar and lemon juice, a little at a time. This helps to balance the flavors and maintain the mayo’s consistency.
-
Adjust Thickness: If, after refrigerating, the mayonnaise is thicker than desired, it can be thinned down with a small amount of cream. This step allows you to customize the consistency to your preference.

- Use this creamy mayonnaise as a delicious dressing for salads, sandwiches, wraps, and burgers.
