Ingredients:

• Egg yolks – 3 pcs.

• Water – 1 tbsp.
• Salt – to taste.
• White pepper – to taste (can be replaced with black, but in minimal quantities).

Step-by-step recipe for hollandaise sauce

• Before you start cooking, make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature. Melt the butter over low heat and cool slightly.
• Take two saucepans, one large for the water and one small for the sauce. Pour water into the large saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Make sure the bottom of the top saucepan does not touch the water.
• In a small bowl, combine the egg yolks and water. Pour this mixture into the top saucepan over a double boiler. Whisk constantly until the mixture is thick and creamy.
• Begin to add the melted butter in a thin stream, whisking constantly. Do this gradually so that the sauce does not separate.
• Once all the butter has been added, add the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and glossy.
• Transfer the finished sauce to a warm bowl. Serve immediately, as hollandaise sauce does not keep for long.
