Recipe: Hollandaise Sauce

Here is a recipe for Hollandaise Sauce. If you don't feel like making it the Knorr brand in the package that you just add milk and butter to is very good.

Hollandaise Sauce

Makes 1 cup

3 egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
salt to taste
1 teaspoon ground white pepper

Add egg yolks to a small saucepan; whisk until lemon yellow and slightly thick, about 1 minute. Whisk in lemon juice.

Add 2 tablespoons cold butter, and place over very low heat. Whisk constantly while butter is melting, and continue whisking until thick enough to see the pan between strokes. Remove pan from heat, and beat in 1 tablespoon cold butter. Repeat. Whisk in melted butter a little bit at a time. Season with salt and white pepper to taste.
