Mayonnaise

From
Heiðar Örn

Ingredients

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 cups oil (the recipe also says 700 ml; use a neutral-tasting oil)
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • ½ tsp salt

Method

  1. Have all the ingredients at room temperature.
  2. Whisk the egg yolks, mustard, vinegar, lemon juice and salt together.
  3. Add the oil a few drops at a time, whisking constantly. Once the mayonnaise starts to thicken, pour the rest in a thin stream. A stand mixer or stick blender makes this easier.
  4. Season to taste with salt and lemon juice, and keep in the fridge.
