Directions:

Cut butter into 1-inch pieces. In a small, heavy saucepan combine lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water and reduce over high heat to about one tablespoon. Remove from heat and add 1 tablespoon cold water. Beat egg yolks lightly and wisk into lemon water. Over low heat, wisk in the butter, one piece at a time, making sure that each piece of butter is melted before adding. Continue to wisk the sauce until it is thick. Add salt and white pepper to taste.

This is just your basic hollandaise you can add herbs or what ever you want to it. Here's a trick I do if it gets lumpy after a while. Just add some chopped up hard boiled egg to it. It makes it look like you wanted it that way.

I found this sauce to have no zing to it....it tasted like something was missing from the recipe. I had to improvise and add ingredients to get some zing in it |

Very Good! I to was not sure how to make Hollandaise sauce & thought it was hard to make before. But now I am on my way to try outher sauces. Hollandaise is one of the mother sauces right? |

It was easy to make. I have been afraid to make hollandaise because I thought it was hard to use egg yolks and turning them into scambled eggs. Not anymore! |
