free-range egg yolks,

oil oil

Whizz the egg yolks, mustard and vinegar or lemon juice in a food processor, then add the oil in a confident, steady stream äóñ you need keep up with the speed of the blades. It is ready when the blades leave a visible trail through the mayonnaise. Season to taste.

To make it by hand, it is best to get someone to help. One of you holds the bowl steady and whisks, while the other adds the oil in a gentle, continuous drizzle. Season to taste. Note: if it curdles, remove it from the processor or bowl and set aside. Add 1 egg yolk and whizz or whisk briskly, slowly adding back the curdled mayo. The new egg should bring it back together.

This homemade whole egg mayonnaise recipe is easy to make at home and is free of GMO ingredients. This version is quite similar to Best Foods brand mayonnaise.

Turn machine on (I use a medium low speed on my Vitamix) and s l o w l y pour in the oil through the feed tube. I mean drip by drip. Or at the very least, the thinnest stream you can possibly pour without adding it drip by drip. Adding the oil slowly is the key to emulsification. It should take about 10 minutes to add the oil.

Many food processors have a feature that most people don't even know about. The little push tube? Look to see if it has a hole in its base. This is for slowly adding oil! Same drill as above - all ingredients except oil go into the food processor bowl. Put lid in place, turn the machine on and pour the oil into the push tube; it will regulate the flow of oil. It's easier on the arms, faster because of the steady oil stream instead of my hit and miss pouring, and easier to get all the mayo.
