minutesIngredients
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.
