Preparation

Step 1

Cut butter into 1-inch pieces. In a small, heavy saucepan combine lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water and reduce over high heat to about 1 tablespoon. Remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon cold water.

Beat egg yolks lightly and whisk into lemon water. Over low heat, whisk the butter, one piece at a time, making sure that each piece of butter is melted before adding more. Continue to whisk the sauce until it is thick. Add salt and pepper to taste.
