Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
The egg yolks act as emulsifiers, containing lecithin that allows fat (butter) and water (from eggs and lemon juice) to combine into a stable suspension. The sweetened condensed milk provides both sugar for flavor balance and additional proteins that stabilize the emulsion. Adding the melted butter and acidic lemon juice alternately prevents the emulsion from breaking by gradually building the fat-water ratio, while the acid denatures proteins to create a thicker, more stable sauce.
This mayonnaise can be made up to 3 days ahead. Due to the raw eggs and lack of modern preservatives, it has a shorter shelf life than commercial mayonnaise. Store in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid in the refrigerator immediately after preparation.
Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days maximum. Due to the raw eggs, this sauce must be kept refrigerated at all times. Discard if it develops an off smell, separates significantly, or shows any signs of spoilage. Do not freeze, as the emulsion will break upon thawing. Stir gently before each use.
