Makes

1 cup

Prep

5m

Cooking

10m

Ingredients

  • 60g unsalted butter, chopped
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Method

STEP 1

Combine egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of water in the heatproof bowl and place over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Use a wire balloon whisk to whisk the mixture constantly for 3 minutes or until it is thick and pale, has doubled in volume and a ribbon trail forms when the whisk is lifted.

STEP 2

Add butter, one cube at a time, whisking constantly and adding another cube when the previous one is incorporated completely.

STEP 3

Remove the bowl from the pan. Whisk in lemon juice and season with salt and ground white pepper. Serve immediately.
