A Perfect Eggless Mayonnaise
As a home cook with years of recipe testing, I've perfected a creamy mayonnaise without eggs. Eggs are key in traditional recipes, but health needs or diets often require alternatives. Don't miss out—use cornstarch as your emulsifier for reliable results every time.
Ingredients:
- 20 g cornstarch;
- 4 tablespoons of milk (skimmed or not);
- 4 tablespoons of water;
- 1 teaspoon of mustard;
- A little oil.
Preparation steps:
- Combine milk and water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in cornstarch gradually. Bring to a boil while stirring continuously.
- Once thickened, remove from heat, cool, and transfer to a bowl.
- Incorporate mustard, then drizzle in oil slowly while whisking vigorously.
- Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Your mayo is ready!
Mayonnaise Without Mustard
Mustard enhances flavor, but vinegar works wonders as a substitute if unavailable or avoided. Here's my trusted method for mayonnaise without mustard:
- Mix a fresh egg yolk with a splash of vinegar (cider, balsamic, or white).
- Season with salt and pepper, then add oil gradually, whisking by hand or with a food processor, just like classic mayo.
- If it thickens too much, thin with a dash of vinegar straight from the fridge or before serving.
Mayonnaise Without Oil
Oil is standard, but yogurt delivers a lighter, tangy twist. After mastering mayonnaise without eggs, try this oil-free version:
- Mash a hard-boiled egg yolk with 1 tablespoon mustard.
- Whisk in yogurt gradually (unsweetened; opt for liquid or shake well).
- Season with salt and pepper once smooth and uniform.
