Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 2 tbs lemon juice
- 1 pinch ground pepper
- 1/4 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 tbs water
- 1 tbs butter
- 1/4 tsp salt
Directions
-
Fill the bottom of a double boiler part-way with water. Make sure that water does not touch the top pan. Bring water to a gentle simmer. In the top of the double boiler, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon water.
-
Add the melted butter to egg yolk mixture 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time while whisking yolks constantly. If hollandaise begins to get too thick, add a teaspoon or two of hot water. Continue whisking until all butter is incorporated. Whisk in salt, then remove from heat. Place a lid on pan to keep sauce warm until ready to serve.
