Gordon Ramsay Mayonnaise Recipe
Making homemade mayo is a fun kitchen skill. The Gordon Ramsay Mayonnaise Recipe is very easy to follow.
Equipment
- Large Glass Bowl
- Balloon Whisk
- Measuring Spoons
- Small Pitcher
- Damp Kitchen Towel
Ingredients
- Egg Yolks 2
- Dijon Mustard 1 Tsp
- Lemon Juice 1 Tsp
- Grapeseed Oil 250 ML
- Sea Salt 1 Pinch
- White Pepper 1 Pinch
Instructions
- Place your egg yolks in the glass bowl. Add the Dijon mustard to the yolks now. Whisk them together until they are very smooth.
- Add a small splash of lemon juice. Sprinkle in your sea salt and white pepper. Continue whisking to combine these base flavors well.
- Hold your oil pitcher in one hand. Pour the oil in a very thin stream. Use your other hand to whisk very quickly.
- Watch the mixture start to thicken up. Do not pour the oil too fast. Speed is the secret to a perfect emulsion.
- Continue whisking until all the oil is gone. Taste the mayo to check the seasoning level. Add more salt or lemon if you like.
Notes
- Always use eggs that are at room temperature.
- Pour the oil very slowly like a thin thread.
- Whisk in a figure-eight motion for better mixing.
- If it breaks, add one teaspoon of warm water.
- Use neutral oils like grapeseed or sunflower oil.
- Make sure your bowl and whisk are totally dry.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice always tastes the best.
- Stop whisking immediately once the mayo is thick.
