Ingredients
  • Picture is from their site.
  • Adapted from Williams-Sonoma Lifestyles Series, Brunch Entertaining, by Janeen Sarlin (Time-Life Books, 1999).
  • Ingredients:
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 2 Tbs. fresh lemon and lime juice
  • 1 Tbs. water

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 2 pinches of freshly ground white pepper

Directions
  1. Directions:
  2. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water, combine the egg yolks, lemon and lime juice and water and whisk constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, then continue whisking about 1 minute more. Remove the bowl from over the pan as soon as the mixture thickens. Add the salt, cayenne pepper and white pepper.
  3. Using a stick blender with the aerator attachment, blend the mixture while slowly pouring in the melted butter in a thin stream until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Cover and keep warm over very low heat, or transfer to a cast-iron sauce warmer until ready to serve. Makes 2 cups.

Sounds delish!!


Sounds great I like the cayenne pepper.
Five forks and a smile :)


Five forks and so fine a recipe..love it


To find a true hollandaisc sauce nowadays is a rarity, and this is so very close to the recipe that I use and am so fond of :-) How nice to see a classic recipe; one that has not been adulterated with all of the modern versions of "taste."

Geez... I sound like some old codger or of a snobby chef...

At any rate, great post, and welcome to grouprecipes!

Take care,
Ray


Great recipe. Love "real" hollandaise sauce!


I love this stuff. I'd put it on everything if my veins would let me.
Have you heard of putting a slice of tomato under the egg Benedict? It's fairly common in MN, but I don't know about the rest of the planet.


It rocks!


Now I want Eggs Benedict... can't have the spinach.. makes my Arthritis ache.. and I love it.
