Ingredients:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- A dash of cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup olive oil
Instructions:
- In a small mixing bowl, use a blender stick to combine the egg yolk, dry mustard, sugar, salt, cayenne pepper, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is well combined.
