Hollandaise Sauce

Ingredients

• 3 egg yolks
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp water
• 1/2 cup melted butter, still warm
• Salt and cayenne pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. 1Whisk egg yolks, lemon juice, and water in a bowl set over barely simmering water.
2. 2Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale and doubled in volume, about 3-4 minutes.
3. 3Remove from heat and drizzle in melted butter very slowly, whisking constantly, until emulsified.
4. 4Season with salt and a pinch of cayenne.
5. 5Serve immediately — hollandaise does not hold well.
