  • 12 tablespoon unsalted butter 1½ sticks
  • 4 egg yolks room temp

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place butter in a small saucepan, and melt over medium-low heat.
  2. In a blender, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne and blend for about 10 to 15 seconds.
  3. Remove the vent from the lid of the blender. Carefully turn back on the blender.
  4. Slowly pour in the warm melted butter. Blend until sauce is thick and smooth.
  5. Taste, and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Slowly, and gradually, add enough warm water until you reach your desired pourable consistency.
  6. Serve within 1 hour. If you are making ahead of time, add 1 tablespoon of hot tap water and blend before serving. But really, it's so easy, you can make this an hour before you need it, with no problem.
