Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is an emulsion of lemon juice and vegetable oil, held together with egg yolk. It is easy to make and way more delicious than the store-bought variety.

Instructions

In a stainless steel bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard and seasoning.
Start to pour the vegetable oil into the bowl *VERY SLOWLY*, just a drop at a time, whisking continuously while you pour. It is very important to add the oil extremely slowly, especially at the start, or else the oil will overwhelm the emulsion and won't incorporate.
Once around half the oil has been added, it is safe to pour just a little bit faster - but always err on the side of going slow.
