Homemade Mayonnaise - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 egg yolks
2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
dash of white pepper
salt to taste
juice of 1 to 1 1/2 lemons, strained

Preparation

Beat egg yolks until they're lighter in color and the consistency of runny mayonnaise.
Add mustard, pepper and salt; beat in well.
Now start adding the oil about 1/2 teaspoon at a time, beating constantly at medium speed until 1/2 cup has been added.
At this point you can stop beating for a few minutes.
If you stop before that it will separate.
Now add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of oil the same way, in small amounts beating constantly until all the oil has been added.
I wait until it's finished to add the lemon juice then you can adjust to your own taste.
Just beat enough to mix after adding lemon juice; I also add a little more salt usually to bring out the flavor.
