The recipe gives you a time frame to do it in - so make sure you're no slower than that. Last time I made mayo it split right at the end and I did what CathyM suggests - start with another egg yolk and add the split mixture. Perfect! I was chuffed to say the least...!!!!

Thanks Cathy! I'll try that next time. So maybe I need to add the oil a little faster? I do tend to do it very slowly.

I find olive oil too strong, try grapes seed oil it has a lighter flavour. As for the mayo not thickening I find if I add the oil too slow it tends to split. It's getting the pace right. If it splits just remove the mixture, wash and dry the bowl very well and add another egg to the bowl and mix on speed 4 for 20 seconds then add the split mixture back as you did the oil. It will usually thicken for you. 
good luck

Hi Everyone.
I'm looking for a little advice on making Mayo. I'm using the recipe from the Everyday cook book. It looks great everytime I make it until the last 1/3 of a cup of oil, then it goes to slush. I add the oil very slowly every time. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong please? I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
