Ingredients
Instructions
In a blender, combine the egg yolks, salt, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds, until the mixture becomes frothy.
Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat until bubbling but not browning. The butter will be poured into the blender with the egg yolk mixture; for easier pouring, transfer it to a glass measuring cup.
With the blender running on low speed, gradually add the hot butter in a thin stream to the egg yolk mixture. The butter should be hot to ensure the sauce emulsifies properly.
Check the consistency of the sauce. If it's too thick, blend in 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water to achieve a thick but pourable consistency.
Serve the sauce or transfer to a bowl for up to 2 hours (see make-ahead notes below).
