Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons boiling water
• 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and hot
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• salt
• red pepper, tiny pinch

Recipe

• 1 put the yolks in a blender or food processor.
• 2 blend on low speed for a couple of seconds, just to whisk the eggs.
• 3 with the machine running, slowly pour in the boiling water, then, (with the machine still running) very, very, very slowly pour in the hot melted butter.
• 4 be patient- you must pour the butter in in the thinnest of streams, like fast drops, or the sauce will break.
• 5 add the lemon juice, salt to taste and the cayenne.
• 6 if the sauce is too thick, add a bit more boiling water.
• 7 will hold, sitting in a bowl of warm water, for hours.
