Blender Hollandaise Sauce

By Kyle-2

This recipe is quick and easy and it's almost as good as the real thing. Recipe makes 1 cup.

Ingredients

• 6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 3 egg yolks, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (i.e. Tabasco brand)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

(Make sure that the egg yolks, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce are at room temperature; otherwise, the sauce could turn out too thin. If it is too thick, add warm water a few drops at a time with the blender on low.)

* In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the butter for about 2 minutes until is is bubbling (do not let the butter brown).

* Place the remaining ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed to mix well.

* With the blender running, pour the hot melted butter into the yolk mixture in a slow, steady stream through the hole in the blender lid.

* When all of the butter has been blended in, the sauce is done. It should have the consistency of a creamy salad dressing. Serve immediately.
