Ingredients
½
cup
butter
melted
4
egg yolks
2-3
tsp
fresh lemon juice
salt
and
pepper
Instructions
Melt butter and make sure it is just warm, not hot.
In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks with lemon juice and spices until smooth.
Put the bowl with the egg yolks on top of a small pan of boiling water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water, or in a double boiler.
Whisk the egg yolks constantly while slowly adding the melted butter.
Once well incorporated, continue to whisk for approximately 2-3 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Use immediately, or remove from heat and cover until serving.
If it starts to separate, mix in ½ tsp or so of warm water before serving.
Notes
This recipe does not store and reheat well at all, so for best results use immediately.
