Method

  1. Sit a large bowl on a cloth to stop it moving. Put the egg yolks into the bowl with the Dijon mustard and a little seasoning and whisk well until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking all the time. You should have a smooth, quite thick mayonnaise that stands in peaks.
  3. Add lemon juice to taste and briefly whisk.
  4. If it's too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water to give a good consistency.

    Easy, but needed some vinegar to bring it alive. Was a bit eggy and oily without it.
