This is a good no frills recipe:

Mayonnaise
Recipe courtesy of Alton Brown
Show: Good Eats | Episode: The Mayo Clinic


Total: 10 min
Prep: 10 min
Yield: 9 fluid ounces
Level: Intermediate

Ingredients​

1 egg yolk*
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 pinches sugar
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup oil, safflower or corn

Directions​

In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit, (which means you've got an emulsion on your hands).
Once you reach that point you can relax your arm a little (but just a little) and increase the oil flow to a constant (albeit thin) stream. Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.

Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Have you made this? Can I use a mixer?
 
Good morning Janie. It’s supposed to settle down around 10:00 but remain windy.

Good morning IM!
It was very windy here yesterday. We desperately need to get out and pick up debris from storms, but between rain and wind it's not getting done. We still have deep mud in most of the yard. Today doesn't look as windy, but we have a severe storm warning from 6 to 6.
