Mayonnaise

Ingredients

• •1 egg yolk
• •1/2 tsp salt
• •1/2 tsp dry mustard
• •2 pinches sugar
• •2 tsp lemon juice
• •1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• •1 cup oil, safflower or corn

Steps

1. 1In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients.
2. 2Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture.
3. 3Start 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.
4. 4Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
5. 5serving makes ~1 cup of mayo.
