Preparation

  1. Put yolk and mustard in a medium bowl. Beat together with a wire whisk. Begin to add oil as you beat, a little at a time, adding more as each bit is incorporated. You will notice when a thick emulsion forms, then you can add oil a little faster. Depending on how fast you beat, the whole process will take about 5 minutes.
  2. Add salt and pepper, then stir in lemon juice or vinegar. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
