I
don't make this often but I love it when I do. In this particular
video I used frozen egg yolks as a test. You'd make it the
same with fresh egg yolks you just don't add the water I used
to thin them out in the beginning of the video.
Ingredients:
Mix
together;
4 egg yolks (if using frozen, add a little water to thin then and
make them workable)
1
tblsp fresh lemon juice (more if you like it lemony)
a couple
shots of a Tabasco or Tapatio type sauce, or a pinch of cayenne
pepper
Then
add;
Unsalted Butter - Depending on how rich you want it, use 1/2 cup
to 1 cup melted butter OR 1 to 2 sticks butter cut into small cubes
Simply
follow the instructions in the video! the most important thing
is warm and thicken, not cook the egg yolks. You'll see I
don't use a bain marie (water bath) I just use
an open
burner
and
control the heat buy moving the bowl on and off the burner
and by whipping constantly. You can use one if you want but
it takes a little longer than
what is shown.
