Tipp des Tages : 22 February

To avoid messing your mayonnaise up


To make a mayonnaise, do not use egg just out of the refrigerator. Leave it for a moment at room temperature. Then, mix the egg yolk with a teaspoon of water and 2 teaspoons of mustard, let stand a few minutes. Finally, you can mount your mayonnaise normally.
