Ingredients
  

  • 2 large egg yolks room temperature
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 250 ml light olive oil or sunflower oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • Salt and white pepper

Method
 

  1. Anchor a bowl with a damp tea towel.
  2. Whisk yolks, mustard and salt.
  3. Add oil drop by drop, whisking constantly, for the first 3–4 tablespoons.
  4. Pour in a thin, steady stream, whisking continuously.
  5. Whisk in lemon juice and vinegar.
  6. Season, transfer to a jar, refrigerate.

Notes

Add the oil drop by drop at the start to avoid splitting.
Use room temperature ingredients.
Use a light-tasting oil, not extra virgin olive oil.
Contains raw egg — keep refrigerated and use within 4 days.
