Ingredients

  • 125 gram/1/2 cup butter melted
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper use less if you wish
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice or more
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  • Add the egg yolks, cayenne pepper and lemon juice to a blender
  • Place the butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat at 20 second increments until butter is completely melted
  • Blend (I used a stick blender) the yolk mixture just until everything is combined
  • Whilst the blender is still running slowly drizzle the butter into the blender jug. About a tablespoon at a time
  • The sauce will thicken as you drizzle the butter in. Keep blending until you reach a creamy, smooth sauce
  • You can add some salt and pepper and serve warm

Notes

  1. Add more melted butter if you prefer a sauce of a thinner consistency
  2. You can adjust the cayenne pepper and lemon juice according to your preference 
  3. I used a stick blender to make the sauce and it worked perfectly fine but you can use a blender jug too
  4. I used salted butter to make my sauce so I didn't add any extra salt. If you are using unsalted butter you can add salt
  5. If your sauce does start to split add a tablespoon of hot water to the mixture
