How to Make Perfect Mayonnaise at Home

Salt the egg yolks, then whisk them thoroughly.

Gradually add the oil while whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

Next, add the vinegar. If the mayonnaise is too thick, stir in a tablespoon of warm water to loosen it.

If you like heat, add a touch of mustard and mix it into the yolks before adding the oil.

This basic recipe uses half a cup of oil, one egg yolk, a tablespoon of vinegar, and half a teaspoon of salt.
