Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Set it aside to cool slightly.
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until smooth and slightly thickened.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (ensure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water) and whisk constantly to gently heat the egg yolks until they thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking constantly, until the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Pour gradually to avoid splitting the sauce.
Season with a pinch of salt if desired and serve immediately. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of warm water to loosen it.
