Ingredients

• 2 large Egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Mustard (Dijon or yellow)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Vegetable oil or sunflower oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Water (optional for adjusting consistency)

Directions

Step 1

Place the egg yolks in a medium-sized mixing bowl or food processor. Whisk or pulse to break them up.

Step 2

Add the lemon juice, white vinegar, mustard, salt, and sugar to the bowl. Whisk or pulse again until fully combined and smooth.

Step 3

Combine the vegetable oil and olive oil in a measuring cup with a spout for easy pouring.

Step 4

While continuously whisking by hand or with the food processor running on low speed, begin adding the oil mixture drop by drop into the yolk mixture. This step is crucial to ensure proper emulsification.

Step 5

Once the mixture starts to thicken and emulsify, you can begin pouring the oil in a slow, steady stream while continuing to whisk or process.

Step 6

Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or sugar if necessary.

Step 7

If the mayonnaise is too thick, whisk in a tablespoon of water to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 8

Transfer the finished mayonnaise to a clean jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
