Homemade Mayonnaise

NOTE: Each time you add oil, make sure to whisk until it is thoroughly incorporated. It's fine to stop for a rest or to measure the next addition of oil. If the mayonnaise appears grainy or beaded after the last addition of oil, continue to whisk until smooth. See figures 10 and 11, for tips on making mayo. Makes about ³/₄ cup.

  ¹/₄    teaspoon salt

  ¹/₄    teaspoon Dijon-style mustard

  1¹/₂    teaspoons lemon juice

  1    teaspoon white wine vinegar

  ³/₄    cup corn oil
