Making your own mayo is officially not hard and is yummy. Besides, you actually know what is in there.
I followed this recipe, generally, except I didn't measure anything out. I'm not sure what the hot water does besides water it down, but then again, mine doesn't taste exactly like mayo, but it is pretty close. I used olive and canola oil with lemon juice and beat it with a fork. Success!
Basically, I just beat up my egg yolk, added a squirt of lemon juice, beat, add a grape size blob of oil, beat, more oil, beat, more oil beat... squirt of lemon juice, beat, oil.. etc etc until it gets to some consistency you like, and you can add salt and sugar and mustard powder if you'd like. I added a little bit of water, but I'm not sure why. It's a little runny, but maybe it'll solidify up in the fridge.
