Savory Homemade Mayonnaise with a Zesty Twist

Ingredients

- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons high fructose corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon dried garlic
- A pinch of your favorite spice blend

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks, white vinegar, and lemon juice. Whisk them together until they are fully integrated and slightly frothy.

2. Season It Up
Add the salt, sugar, mustard powder, paprika, dried garlic, and your chosen spice blend to the egg mixture. Whisk these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until they're dissolved and well combined.

3. Gradual Oil Emulsion
Set your stove to a low heat setting. Slowly drizzle the vegetable oil into the egg mixture while continuously whisking. It’s essential to add the oil steadily to ensure a proper emulsion forms. This process may take around 12 to 15 minutes, but patience will give you a smooth and creamy texture.

4. Sweet and Complex Depth
Once the initial emulsion is created, mix in the high fructose corn syrup. Stir consistently to ensure that the sweetness is evenly distributed throughout the mayonnaise.

5. Finalize and Adjust
Taste your mayonnaise and adjust seasoning as needed. You might want to add a touch more salt or lemon for brightness or an additional pinch of your favorite spice for more depth.

6. Chill and Serve
Once blended to your satisfaction, transfer the mayonnaise to a clean jar. Chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
