This emulsion of egg yolk and oil with some seasonings – such as lemon juice, vinegar and mustard powder – is easy to make, as long as you add the oil slowly (a few drops at a time) and beat continuously with a wooden spoon

Ingredients

2 medium egg yolks
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp mustard powder
300ml light oil (sunflower or vegetable) or olive oil
lemon juice, to taste
1 tbsp white wine vinegar

Preparation: 10 Total Time: 10min

Put the yolks in a bowl, add the seasoning and mustard powder, and beat with a wooden spoon.
Pour the oil &# one or two drops at a time &# as you beat. You may want to steady the mixing bowl on a damp tea towel. After a few minutes, the mixture should begin to thicken and pale. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and continue adding the oil, alternating with the vinegar &# a few drops of oil, a few drops of vinegar &# until all the vinegar is used up. You can then continue adding the oil, this time in a thin, steady flow, until the mixture is thick and creamy. Season once more to taste.
