-
- Sauce Hollandaise No. 563 Yields 1 Cup
-
- 1/2 Cup Butter 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 Tbls Lemon Juice Cayenne
- 3 Egg Yolks
- Boiling Water
-
- Slowly melt the butter and keep it warming.
- Barely heat the lemon juice (you may substitute dry sherry or tarragon
- vinegar).
- Keep a pot of boiling water handy along with a tablespoon with which to
- measure it.
- Place the egg yolks in the top of a double-boiler, OVER, NOT IN THE
- boiling water.
- Beat the egg yolks using a wire whisk until they begin to thicken.
- Add 1 Tablespoon of boiling water per cup of finished sauce.
- Beat again until the eggs again begin to thicken.
- Repeat this process until you have added three more tablespoons of boiling
- water per finished cup of sauce.
- Now beat in the lemon juice and remove the double-boiler from the heat.
- Beat the sauce well with a wire whisk.
- Continue to beat while slowly adding the butter, salt and a few grains of

- Beat until sauce is thick.
- Serve at once.
