- HOLLANDAISE SAUCE AND ITS DERIVATIVES
-
- _________________________________________________________________
-
- * 1/4 teaspoon peppercorns
- * 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
- * 4 tablespoons cold water
- * 6 large egg yolks
- * 2 cups clarified butter (or melted butter), warm
- * 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- * scant 1/8 teaspoon cayenne
-
- Combine vinegar and peppercorns; reduce in a small saucepan until
- almost all of the liquid has evaporated. Add the water to the
- reduction; blend and strain.
-
- Add the water and reduction to the egg yolks in a large metal bowl
- over simmering water. Do not allow the bowl to touch the water. Whip
- the egg yolks with a wire whisk, over the simmering water, until the
- yolks form ribbons. Gradually add the clarified butter, whipping
- constantly. Add the lemon juice and cayenne, and adjust the seasonings
- to taste with salt and pepper. If necessary, place the bowl in a pan
- of warm (not hot) water until served. When ready to use the sauce,
- beat evenly with wire whisk for 30 seconds until smooth.
-
- Keep the sauce warm in a bain marie (warm water bath) or a Thermos. Do
- hot hold for more than 90 minutes; if you need to hold the sauce
- longer, discard the old one after 90 minutes and make more.
