💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
6
Add the lemon juice and stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
7
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, lemon juice, the same product, gluten-free version, mustard, garlic, salt and black pepper until smooth.
