Ingredients

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon arrowroot starch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat
Note: For the best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.

Instructions

  • n a small bowl, dissolve the arrowroot starch in 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
  • In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and lemon juice until the mixture is light and frothy.
  • Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method), ensuring the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water.
  • Gradually whisk in the melted butter, a little at a time, until the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Whisk in the arrowroot slurry and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
  • Season with salt, white pepper, and optional cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately.
  • If the sauce begins to thicken too much upon cooling, whisk in a few drops of warm water to reach the desired consistency.

Tips & Tricks

  • Keep the heat low to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
  • If the sauce separates, whisk in a tablespoon of cold water to help emulsify it again.
  • This sauce is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for a day.
  • Gently reheat it over low heat, adding water as needed to thin it.
