Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine 4 large egg yolks, 2 tablespoons cold water, 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon ground white pepper. Process until smooth, about 10 seconds.
-
Step 2.
With the food processor motor running, slowly drizzle in 3 cups canola oil through the feed tube in a thin, steady stream. Continue processing until the mixture is thick and emulsified, about 1-2 minutes. The mayonnaise should be pale yellow and hold its shape.

Step 3.
Transfer the mayonnaise to a lidded glass jar and refrigerate. It will keep for up to 1 week.
