Homemade Mayo

This is just a recipe I came across for homemade mayo that sounded good. There are several out there on the internet, so feel free to browse for something that suits your tastes.

Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup vegetable or olive oil

Directions

1. Combine the egg yolks, mustard, cayenne and lemon juice in a food processor (or blender). Start to process, and as the machine runs, add the oil in a thin stream through the top spout. The mayonnaise will come together and thicken all of a sudden.

2. If the mixture is too thick, add a little warm water to thin it. Add salt and pepper to taste. The mayonnaise will keep for about 1 week in the refrigerator.
