Mayo

Chef's notes

Make sure the egg and the oil are roughly the same temperature.

If your emulsion fails, it's easy to fix. Take a 1/2 Teaspoon of the hottest water your tap makes. Get a new bowl. Add the water to the bowl and add the broken mix to the water while whisking a few drops at a time. It should start to thicken up around the time you get halfway through the mixture.
