About Mayonnaise
Mayonnaise is a creamy emulsion made from oil, egg yolk, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. In baking, it acts as a binder, enhancing moisture, tenderness, and flavor in recipes. Its creamy texture and subtle tang make it an excellent addition to cakes, breads, and muffins, often replacing eggs or oil to create a moist crumb. The emulsifying properties of mayonnaise help create a uniform texture, while its fat content contributes to a rich mouthfeel, making it a versatile ingredient for home bakers seeking to enhance their baked goods.
