Equipment

  • Blender, or small food processor

Ingredients

  • 12 tbsp unsalted butter 1½ sticks
  • 4 egg yolks room temp
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • tsp Kosher salt
  • ¾ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper or more, to taste
  • warm water as needed

Instructions

  • Place butter in a small saucepan, and melt over medium-low heat.
  • In a blender, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne and blend for about 10 to 15 seconds.
  • Remove the vent from the lid of the blender. Carefully turn back on the blender.
  • Slowly pour in the warm melted butter. Blend until sauce is thick and smooth.
  • Taste, and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Slowly, and gradually, add enough warm water until you reach your desired pourable consistency.
  • Serve within 1 hour. If you are making ahead of time, add 1 tablespoon of hot tap water and blend before serving. But really, it's so easy, you can make this an hour before you need it, with no problem.
