Ingredients
Instructions

- Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until thickened.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use a high-quality butter. If you want a vegan option, substitute the butter with a plant-based alternative. For a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper. Make sure to stir constantly while cooking to prevent the mixture from sticking to the pan. If you prefer a lighter consistency, you can thin the mayonnaise with a bit more vinegar or water.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of milk instead of evaporated milk?
Yes, you can substitute evaporated milk with whole milk or a non-dairy milk for a lighter version. However, the consistency and richness may vary slightly. If using non-dairy options, ensure they are unsweetened to maintain the flavor balance.
What can I add to customize the flavor of the mayonnaise?
You can add herbs like dill, garlic powder, or onion powder for extra flavor. A squeeze of lemon juice can also enhance the taste. For a smoky flavor, consider adding smoked paprika instead of regular paprika.
Is this mayonnaise suitable for vegans?
The recipe as is contains butter, making it not vegan. However, you can easily make it vegan by substituting the butter with a plant-based margarine or oil. Just ensure all other ingredients are vegan-friendly.
