Directions:
-
Melt the Butter: Start by taking a saucepan and melting the butter over medium heat. Allow it to gently melt and become liquid without boiling.
-
-
Cool the Butter: Once melted, pour the butter into a small pitcher or container, and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Prepare the Egg and Mustard Mix: While the butter is cooling, take a mixing bowl and combine the egg yolk and Dijon mustard. Mix them well until the mustard and yolk form a smooth consistency.
-
Combine Butter with the Egg Mixture: Gradually pour the cooled butter into the egg mixture in a thin stream, all while continuously beating the mixture with a hand mixer. This slow incorporation of butter is key to creating the right texture.
-
Leave Sediment Behind: Once the butter is fully mixed in, you’ll notice some sediment at the bottom of the bowl. Leave this behind as you continue mixing.
-
Thicken the Mixture: Keep beating the mixture until it thickens to a creamy consistency. The goal is to create a rich, velvety texture that resembles a mayonnaise.
-
Season: Add the lemon juice to brighten the flavor, and then season with salt and pepper to taste.
