2. To make mayonnaise, combine egg yolks, lemon juice, sugar, mustard and salt in a food processor. Season to taste with freshly ground white pepper. Add 1/4 cup of combined oils and process 10 seconds without stopping. Scrape down sides of the bowl. With motor running, add remaining oils slowly, in a steady stream; mixture will thicken and emulsify. Refrigerate until needed.
