Prep Time
10 min
Ingredients
  1. 2 free-range egg yolks
  2. 1 heaped teaspoon Dijon mustard
  3. 500 ml mixed oils
  4. 1-2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  5. ½ lemon
  6. salt
Instructions
  1. Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl, then add the mustard and whisk together.
  2. Gradually add about half the oil, very slowly at first, whisking continuously for around 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened.
  3. Once you've added about half the oil, whisk in 1 tablespoon of vinegar – this will loosen the mixture slightly and give it a paler colour.
  4. Continue to gradually add the remaining oil, whisking continuously.
  5. Season with a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and a little more vinegar, if needed.
  6. Store in a sterilised jar in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
  1. Add the oil very slowly (a dribble at a time) as you beat the mix or the mayonnaise will not thicken

Ingredients
  1. 200g softened butter
  2. 100g icing sugar
  3. 200g plain flour
  4. half a tsp of baking powder
  5. 2 tsp elderflower cordial
  6. 100g ground almonds

  2. Sift in the plain flour and baking powder, along with the elderflower cordial and  ground almonds.
  3. Mix them all in, only stirring as much as is necessary. Too much stirring will result in hard, tough biscuits.
  4. Once they are all combined, lay a large piece of cling film onto the work surface and tip the dough into the middle. Quickly form the dough into a sausage shape and roll it up in the cling film, twisting the ends tightly
  5. Place in the refrigerator for a half an hour until firm, then pre-heat the oven to 180deg C (Gas Mark 4).
  6. Remove the cling film and slice into rounds of about a half centimetre thickness.
  7. Place the rounds onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.  Sprinkle with a little caster sugar and bake in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes until light golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven and give them a second or two to firm up, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
  1. Good served with gooseberry fool
