Method

  1. Put the egg yolk and Dijon mustard in a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously with a balloon whisk or stick blender for 3 mins or until thickened. Gradually pour in the vegetable oil, whisking continuously, until you have a thick and creamy mayonnaise. Add the lemon juice, whisk again until smooth, then season with black pepper. Best used on the day it’s made.
  • Tip: Add the oil as slowly as you can, especially to start with. If your mayonnaise does split, whisk in an ice cube to bring it back together, then continue with the recipe.
