Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, lemon juice, mustard, salt and 1 teaspoon cold water until frothy. Whisking constantly, slowly dribble in the oil until mayonnaise is thick and oil is incororated. When the mayonnaise emulsifies and starts to thicken, you can add the oil in a thin stream instead of drop by drop.
