mustard

🥗Healthier: Dijon mustard

💰Cheaper: yellow mustard

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, mustard, vinegar (or vinegar + lemon juice), salt, sugar, and white pepper.

Slowly drizzle in the oil drop by drop while whisking continuously to emulsify.

Once the mixture starts to thicken, gradually increase the oil to a steady stream while whisking.

After achieving a thick consistency, whisk in warm water to adjust the mayo's texture.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, sugar, or optional MSG/Worcestershire sauce as desired.
