Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne pepper or paprika (optional)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave until hot but not browned. Keep it warm.
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, water, and salt. Blend on medium speed for 10–15 seconds until frothy.
With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter in a thin, steady stream. Continue blending until the sauce is thick and emulsified.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for extra flavor, if using.
Serve immediately over your dish of choice, or keep warm for up to 30 minutes by placing the sauce in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally.
