Ingredients
- 2 medium egg yolks
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 300ml light olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice or white wine vinegar
Directions
-
Place a folded cloth underneath a medium bowl to stop the bowl sliding while you whisk. Add the egg yolks, mustard and a little seasoning, and whisk well until smooth.
-
Add the oil to the egg mixture in a slow, steady trickle, whisking constantly, until about two-thirds of the oil is incorporated, and the mixture holds it shape in soft peaks.
-
Whisk in the lemon juice or vinegar, then whisk in the remaining oil in a steady stream. If it is a little thick, whisk in 1-2 teaspoons warm water.
