Ingredients
- Egg yolks
- Butter
- Lemon juice
- Salt
- Cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smooth blending. Cold ingredients can cause sauce to separate.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it becomes fully liquid and slightly bubbling, but not browned. Remove from heat.
- Place egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper in blender container. Ensure blender is clean and dry.
- Blend egg mixture on low speed for approximately 30 seconds until ingredients are fully combined and slightly frothy.
- With blender running on low speed, slowly stream in hot melted butter in a thin, steady drizzle. This gradual incorporation helps emulsify the sauce.
- Continue blending until sauce becomes smooth, thick, and creamy, approximately 1-2 minutes. Sauce should have a light, silky consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cayenne pepper as desired.
- Serve immediately. If sauce becomes too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water to thin.
- Keep sauce warm by placing blender container in a bowl of warm water, stirring occasionally to prevent separation.
Tips
- • Temperature is key: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent sauce separation. • Use fresh, high-quality butter for the richest flavor. • Stream the melted butter very slowly while blending to create a stable emulsion. • If the sauce breaks or becomes too thick, add a few drops of warm water and re-blend. • Clean your blender thoroughly before starting to prevent any unwanted flavors. • Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth. • For extra flavor, experiment with adding a pinch of white pepper or a dash of hot sauce. • If not serving immediately, keep the sauce warm by placing the blender container in a bowl of warm water, stirring occasionally.
