Lydia's Mayonnaise

2 egg yolks
1- 1½ cups oil (I use mostly grapeseed or sunflower with about ¼ cup olive oil)
3 tablespoons lemon juice (or lime, of course)
Pinch white pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Pinch sugar

Place egg yolks, lemon juice, pepper, salt and sugar in beaker or stick blender (or regular blender). Start whisking yolks etc, Begin adding oil, very little at a time initially. Keeping the whisk going (or blender blades moving) continue adding oil in steady, thin stream until all oil is incorporated and you have a beautiful emulsified mixture. Enjoy.

If you ever find yourself with lots of crayfish, boil them for 20 minutes each, cut in half under cold running water to remove all the innards and pull out the alimentary canal. While they are boiling, make this mayonnaise. Fresh crayfish and homemade mayonnaise is just the best!

To make aioli, almost at the end of the process, add a bulb of peeled, roasted garlic and blend in.
