I tried to use this recipe and multiply it, only to discover I had almost none of the ingredients. So mine only has white vinegar, salt, American mustard power, 4 duck yolks, 4 chicken yolks, and only 1 teaspoon of msg. I eyeballed the oil, and only used EVOO. It's a bit sharp and tangy, but still tasty.
It doesn't keep long. I love mayo, but I'd have trouble finishing all that. May you enjoy it to the fullest!
I'm impressed! I have never attempted to make home made mayo myself. I should try to do it before I die.
Hey my brother made 3 different kinds of mayo. He now knows that the specific oil used that he absolutely cannot stand is avocado oil.
I bet it would make a tasty macaroni salad, leaning into the Italian side.
Sigh, my wife just drove 40 miles round trip to get a jar of mayonnaise to make potato salad. We do have all the required items to make it at home.
And the worst part of it all-- The grocery store was out of real mayonnaise so she came home with Miracle Whip......
If it feels a bit too rich, do half evoo and half neutral oil. I usually keep evoo low in my mayo and I find it to be much better. Hope you enjoy!
How well does this keep? Uncooked yolk has got to spoil crazy fast, right?
Next year I'm gonna get an early start and make Aprilonnaise.
I "made mayonnaise" too!
Serious Eats is a gem! 🥰
Also, it seems like your acid's a bit too loud (w/o the missing ingredients?) and a slight decrease of ~10-15% should help. FWIW, oldschool aioli is far simpler than kewpie mayo and just as delicious. Besides, the simpler the recipe, the more room for creativity! 🤓
Now drink the whole cup.
