Step 1

Put all the ingredients except the oil in a large bowl and whisk until the yolk thickens and the color brightens (around 30 seconds).

Step 2

Add ¼ cup of the oil in a slow steady stream while I whisking vigorously (~1 minute). To keep the bowl in place, place the bowl on a rubber mat and tie a towel around the base. If there’s someone else in the house, recruit him or her to slowly pour in the oil while you whisk.

Step 3

After the oil is incorporated, slowly added the second ¼ cup of oil and incorporate it the same way as the first (~30 seconds). Pour in the last ¼ cup of oil all at once and whisk it to emulsify the mayo completely.
