250 gram Butter
4 Egg Yolks (0.8dl)
1 dl Lemon juice
Salt
White pepper
Steps
Melt the butter
Place the butter in a saucepan and start the program. The butter will melt at 90 ºC, melting gradually and without splattering. Once the butter has melted, let it stay at the temperature of 58 ºC, which the program automatically sets, until you’re ready for the next step.
Mix egg yolks and lemon juice
In a separate saucepan, mix together the egg yolks and lemon juice. Whisk them lightly. Then, start the program and whisk air into the egg mixture. The program will first raise the temperature to 71 ºC.
Add butter
Once the mixture is aerated, add the butter gradually. Avoid adding the white sediment at the bottom of the saucepan.
Season with salt and white pepper. If the sauce is too thick, you can add water gradually until you achieve the desired consistency. Cover the saucepan with a lid and keep the sauce warm at 58 ºC until it’s time to serve.
