Ingredients

The following ingredients have 1 Servings
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup butter ((1 stick))
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch cayenne pepper

Instruction

  • Melt the butter. I do this in a measuring cup in the microwave. You can also do it in a small saucepan.
  • Separate the egg yolks and add them to a container that just fits the head of the immersion blender (use the blending cup your immersion blender may have come with or a mason jar).
  • Add the lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper to the container. Position the immersion blender in the container.
  • Slowly stream in the butter while constantly blending. Make sure to gently move the blender up/down/around to ensure even blending. This should take around 30 seconds - 1 minute.
  • Give it a quick taste and add more salt/pepper/lemon if necessary. Serve the sauce warm.
