Gather your hand blender and the container that came with it.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of mustard, and 1 heaping teaspoon of sugar into the container.

Add a little bit of white wine vinegar to the mixture.

Separate 2 egg yolks from the whites, placing the yolks into the container. (Note: the creator mentions a preference for organic free-range eggs.)

Juice a lemon to get 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, adding it to the container.

Add a dash of paprika and a dash of garlic powder to the mixture.

Pour in 1 cup of oil, either 100% extra virgin olive oil or a mix of half extra virgin olive oil and half flavorless oil.

Start the hand blender to create an emulsion, pouring the oil in slowly while blending.
