1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 dash hot pepper sauce (e.g. Tabasco鈩?
1/2 cup butter
DIRECTIONS
In the container of a blender, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce. Cover, and blend for about 5 seconds.
Place the butter in a glass measuring cup. Heat butter in the microwave for about 1 minute, or until completely melted and hot. Set the blender on high speed, and pour the butter into the egg yolk mixture in a thin stream. It should thicken almost immediately. Keep the sauce warm until serving by placing the blender container in a pan of hot tap water.
Here you go!!! http://southernfood.about.com/od/saucere鈥?/a>
Whisk 2-3 egg yolks, No whites, Above a boiling pan of water, not in the pan just so the steam is touching the bowl, Whisk them until they turn a white-ish colour and have tripled in volume, and some reduced white wine to the eggs, Very slowly pour clarified butter into the eggs, While whisking continously, Pour the butter to fast and it will split, Keep adding butter until you have the desired consistency, Usually ribbon stage.
Do NOT boil the sauce or it will split, It should be at blood temperature (37 degrees), If its splits because its to hot add a bit of cold water, If it splits because its to cold, add some hot water.
You need to use a whisk to airate the eggs, A wooden spoon will not work.
This is very easy: so I hope I don't over explain it.
2 eggs
squeeze of fresh lemon juice
aprox 1-2 sticks Un-salted butter depending on how you like your sauce - melted
pinch of salt
3-4 drops hot sauce
Crack the eggs in a shallow metal bowl. Add the squeeze of lemon stir with a whisk until they get nice and frothy and a little thick.
Place directly on a low to medium heat and whisk until the eggs get even thicker, be careful NOt to let them scramble.
Slowly pour in butter stiring constantly, this will thicken your sauce even more, add the butter until you get the desired consistency. Add the salt and hot sauce to taste.
