Hollandaise Sauce

By Karenna

Ingredients

• 3 egg yolks
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon cold water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup butter

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, cold water, salt and pepper.

Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Gradually whisk yolk mixture into butter.

Continue whisking over low heat for 8 minutes, or until sauce is thickened.

Serve immediately.

Note

If your sauce breaks and the butter and egg begin to separate, simply remove from the heat, add a splash of cold water, and whisk very fast. This should save your Hollandaise.
