This works great. I like mayo recipes that have a higher egg yolk to oil ratio. I think the extra egg yolk helps it emulsify more easily. One mayo making tip a friend told me: let all your ingredients come to room temperature before you start. Supposedly they mix more easily if they all start out the same temperature.
