Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
3 Egg yolks
1 Sweet butter
1 Lemon juice
4 Salt
1/2 Cayenne pepper

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Double Boiler: Place egg yolks and water in the top of a double boiler and beat well with a wire whip or fork.

  2. Melt Butter: Put all but 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over moderately low heat (about 225°F degrees) until just melted.

  3. Combine Ingredients: Add 1 tablespoon of the cold butter to the egg and water mixture and place over hot, not boiling water. Whip constantly until egg yolks thicken slightly.

  4. Incorporate Butter: Remove from heat and whip in the second tablespoon of cold butter. Gradually pour the melted butter into the egg mixture, beating constantly.

  5. Cook Sauce: Place over hot, not boiling, water (water below should not touch the bottom of the pan) and cook until thickened, whipping constantly. The thickened Hollandaise should hold the imprint when a fork or whip is drawn across the surface.

  6. Season: Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt, and cayenne. Adjust seasoning according to taste preferences.

  7. Keep Warm: The sauce may be placed in the top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling, water, covered, and kept warm until serving time.

  8. Serve: Ladle the Classic Hollandaise Sauce over vegetables, baked or broiled fish, or shellfish.

Tips:

  • Butter Temperature: Ensure the butter is at the right temperature to achieve the desired consistency of the sauce.
  • Whipping Constantly: Whisking constantly is crucial to prevent the sauce from curdling and to achieve a smooth texture.
  • Adjust Seasoning: Taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You can add more lemon juice, salt, or cayenne pepper to suit your taste preferences.
  • Storage: Leftover sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring constantly until warmed through.

Enjoy the luxurious creaminess and delightful flavors of this Classic Hollandaise Sauce, elevating your culinary creations to new heights! 🌟
