Cooking time

minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 egg yolk (SMALL EGGS)

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

  • 3 teaspoon sugar

  • 3 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • ¾th tablespoon white wine vinegar

  • ¾th cup oil, safflower or corn

Directions

  • In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients.
  • Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit,
    (which means you’ve got an emulsion on your hands).
  • Once you reach that point you can relax your arm a little (but just a little) and increase the oil flow to a constant (albeit thin) stream.
  • Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.
  • Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated.
  • Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
