It's also probably the first sauce that I wanted to learn how to make so in future I wouldn't need a recipe to follow and I wouldn't have to make it about 3 times before I got it right!
So I know all the books say to much lemon or heat or salt will mess this sauce up. But really I think it is just patience cause on paper it looks soo simple. I mean how hard is it to ruin anything that has 3 main components.
The recipe that I have always followed instructs you to mix everything in a saucepan, but for some reason many of the recipes online have a step where you mix in the blender and I just feel that it adds an extra step of mess too!
So for a traditional hollandaise sauce:
Ingredients:
3 Egg Yolks
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
8 oz butter
salt to taste
Directions:
1. Add egg yolks to a saucepan; whisk until lemon yellow and slightly thick, and add the lemon juice.
2. Add in the butter in gradually over a low heat. Season with salt to taste.
And like magic you have hollandaise sauce... and hopefully it looks like this:
