Hollandaise Sauce © ejmorris 2006
Ingredients (enough for 2 hogs)
- 2 eggs
- ¼ tsp salt (or so)
- ¼ c unsalted butter
- juice of ¾ lemon
Preparation
- Put eggs and salt in a double boiler that is over smiling boiling water. Whisk constantly until you see the eggs get frothy and starting to thicken slightly - about twice as thick. But you don't want to go as far as even beginning to get scrambled eggs.
- Gradually add chunks of hard cold butter, whisking constantly until the butter melts and the sauce is about the thickness you want.
- Add lemon juice, a quarter lemon at a time. Whisk and taste. Add more lemon if required.
Using this method, any eggy taste will be virtually gone.
Serve with artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, or....
