Ingredients
- 2 egg large yolks
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- salt a pinch
- white pepper or black pepper, a pinch
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 7 fl oz vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place the egg yolks in a large bowl or in a high container ( depending if you use an immersion blender or a regular egg beater). Add salt & pepper and vinegar.
- Beat the egg yolks, then start adding the oil first drop by drop.While whisking, continue to add oil in a slow but steady stream, until is fully incorporated and you have a thick sauce. You may need to add more oil, so have a spare 2 fl oz on hand.
- While whisking, add the lemon juice and whisk until combined. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste. Use straight away or refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Mayonnaise can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days
