6
Add the oil in a thin, slow stream, while the blender is running, until a thick emulsion forms.
Blender
💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
7
Add the lemon juice and stir. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
8
Gently mix with the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice and salt, so as not to mash.
9
Remove the round lid from each cup and press the inside down a little to make room for the filling.
10
Fill the cups only just before serving, or the pastry goes soft. Sprinkle the dill on top and serve.
