1. Using either a hand-held mixer, whisk attachment, add the egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, sea salt, and cayenne pepper and blend together for five seconds.
2. Leave the hand-held mixer running and slowly, slowly, slowly, drop by drop or in a very slow drizzle, add the oil. Be patient. Do not dump all the oil in quickly and give up!
3. When the mixture begins to emulsify, or thicken, only then can you be a bit faster about pouring in the oil, but still take your time. If you see your mayo start to turn grainy, or separate, stop the blender. Turn it off once all the oil is in and the mayo is thickened to your desired consistency.
Makes approximately 21/2 cups of mayo.
TIP: Do not throw away your mayo mixture if it doesn't work or if the oil separates from too much blending. Simply take another egg yolk and tablespoon of vinegar, whisk those two ingredients together, and slowly whisk or blend back in the original "messed up" mayo. Remember, a slow pour is the secret to success, and stop blending once you reach your desired mayo consistency.
