Ingredients:

  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2 cups corn oil
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • How to do it:

    Beat eggs yolks in a large bowl with a metal whisk until frothy, about one minute. Slowly add 1 cup of oil, whisking until oil is incorporated before adding more. Whisk in the lemon juice, vinegar, salt and pepper, then gradually whisk in the remaining 1 cup of oil. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

    Yield: 2 1/3 cup
