Ingredients
- 1 egg yolk
- 0.42 cup water (100ml)
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ tbsp granulated sugar (Add more sugar if you're preparing the sauce for sweet buns.)
- 2½ tbsp butter (40g)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder/onion powder (optional)
Instructions
- Whisk the egg yolk, sugar, and salt together until pale and well combined. Add the cornstarch and water, mixing until smooth, then strain the mixture into a heatproof bowl.
- Set the bowl over a bain-marie (a pot of simmering water), add butter and cook on medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken.
- Remove from the heat immediately and continue whisking until the mayo becomes smooth and creamy.
