How to make Hollandaise Sauce
Cut butter into 6 equal parts. Place egg yolks on top of a double
boiler over hot but not boiling water; add lemon juice and salt; beat slightly
with a wire whisk.
Beat in 1/6 of the butter at a time. (1f sauce
should curdle add 1 ice cube and stir until smooth again; remove ice cube unless
melted.)
If sauce should become too thick, stir in 1 tbsp. hot
water at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Hollandaise
sauce may be made ahead and kept warm for about an hour; to do so place sauce
in a wide mouth vacuum bottle or hold over hot water (but not over heat) or in
a heavy sauce dish or a warming tray.
Serve with poached eggs,
broiled bacon, and muffins or bread. Good for 8 persons.
