Preparing a real mayonnaise is much, much easier than you think. You may have heard many urban legends such as whisking in a metal bowl or whisking in one direction. You don't need to listen to them anymore.
The mayonnaise you prepare at home is cheap, delicious and healthier. The most important thing that gives the real mayonnaise flavor is dijon mustard. The most important thing to prepare mayonnaises with consistency and taste that you buy from the market is measuring cups, in fact, your mayonnaise prepared from this recipe will have a real mayonnaise flavor, as long as you follow the liter and spoon measurements that should be found in every home.
You may encounter 2 different problems while preparing mayonnaise.
1- The consistency of mayonnaise thickens when it is half of the oil, in such a case, all you have to do is add 1 tablespoon of water and continue whisking. You will see that the mayonnaise regains its runny consistency.
2- Breaking the mayonnaise like all sauces can be caused by the egg being stale or pouring too much oil into it. In this case, all you have to do is put 1 tablespoon of water in another deep bowl and transfer your broken mayonnaise to this clean bowl and whisk. If it doesn't get better in this case, the only thing to do is to start over.
Your wrist may hurt at first, but you get used to it after 1-2 preparations :)
