Follow these proven steps for creamy success every time.
1. Take the eggs out of the fridge ahead of time.
2. Do the same with the mustard.
3. Put the egg yolk and mustard together.
4. Add salt and pepper.
5. Whisk the ingredients, adding the oil slowly, in a trickle.
6. Continue until the mayonnaise takes on a nice consistency.
And there you have it, you've made delicious homemade mayonnaise :-)
