Hollandaise Sauce

Ingredients

100g butter chopped into cubes
1 tbsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice
2 egg yolks
dash of cream
Salt to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Method
  1. Put about an inch of water into a saucepan and bring to the boil, then simmer gently. Put a small mixing bowl, big enough to sit tightly on top of the saucepan. Be very careful not to let it's base touch the boiling water.
  2. Put the egg yolks, water and half the vinegar or lemon juice and cream into the bowl and whisk until the egg yolks start to thicken.
  3. Now slowly add the butter, a little at a time, whisking as you go. Do not let the sauce boil or it will curdle. Add salt and a pinch of cayenne pepper together with the remaining vinegar and beat until smooth.
