For the mayonnaise: In a plastic beaker (the ones that come with the immersion hand held blenders) add the whole egg and the egg yolk (must be at room temperature), the lemon juice and the mustard. Using a hand held immersion blender, pulse to combine. Start to add the oil in a drizzle, slowly, keeping your blender running, until the mixture starts to thicken. Continue the process until you have used 1 cup of oil.
