Method

Put the egg yolks into a large bowl. Add the mustard, the salt and the pepper. Alternatively blend in a processor.
Add the oil, a drop at a time, beating even more quickly until the mayonnaise is very thick, in a blender the oil can be added faster (as fast as it is absorbed)
Add the vinegar or lemon juice.
Add the rest of the oil, a tablespoon at a time now until finished.
You can now flavour your mayonnaise, if you like. Some great additions include crushed garlic., chilli sauce, tomato ketchup, chopped capers, cornichons, onions, herbs, anchovies.
If you don't serve the mayonnaise right away, or in the unlikely event of leftovers, the mayonnaise will keep for 2 days in the fridge if it is put in a bowl covered with cling film touching the mayonnaise.
