This really is the best mayo we’ve come across. We’ve messed around with the ingredients (like lime juice) but always revert to this one. You need an electric whisk

2 very fresh egg yolks

1 tsp white wine vinegar

1 tsp Colman’s English mustard powder

salt and pepper

300ml of groundnut or sunflower oil

1 - 2 tbsps of water

• In a large bowl mix egg yolks, vinegar and mustard powder

• Add oil drop by drop, whisking the mixture continuously; making sure that it is absorbed before adding more

• Gradually increase the amount of oil added as the mixture gets thicker and creamier

• When all of the oil is added, whisk in a tablespoon of cold water. Add another if the consistency is still too stiff

• Season to taste
