Ditch the store-bought jars and discover the simple joy of crafting your own rich, flavorful mayo with just a few pantry staples and minutes of your time.
In a tall, narrow container suitable for a stick blender, add the egg, lemon juice, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt. Add about 1/4 of the oil.
Place the stick blender fully into the container, ensuring it reaches the bottom. Turn the blender on low speed and blend continuously until the mixture at the bottom begins to thicken and turn pale yellow. This initial emulsification should happen quickly.
With the blender still running on low speed, very slowly and steadily pour the remaining 3/4 cup of sunflower oil into the container in a thin, continuous stream. Keep the blender firmly pressed against the bottom of the container.
As you add the oil, the mayonnaise will thicken and become creamy. Continue blending until all the oil is incorporated and the mayonnaise is smooth and thick.
If the mayonnaise becomes too thick or "gloopy," add 1-2 tablespoons of hot water while blending on low speed. This will help to loosen the emulsion and create a smoother consistency. Add the water slowly, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
