Anyone have a really spectacular recipe for hollandaise sauce?

Answer 1

Hollandaise Sauce

INGREDIENTS
3 egg yolks
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon cold water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup butter
DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolks, lemon juice, cold water, salt and pepper. Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Gradually whisk yolk mixture into butter. Continue whisking over low heat for 8 minutes, or until sauce is thickened. Serve immediately.
Note
If your sauce breaks and the butter and egg begin to separate, simply remove from the heat, add a splash of cold water, and whisk very fast. This should save your Hollandaise.

Answer 3

Yes - go to your grocery store, pick up the McCormick Hollandaise Sauce packet next to the graveys, mixes, etc and follow the packet. It's spectacular!

Answer 4

Here's mine, but you can't fudge the amounts. I tried it once trying to make it more lemony and it was a disaster.

3 egg yolks
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup real butter, divided (no margarine)

Whisk the yolks and lemon juice together in a small saucepan over medium to medium low heat. Add 4 Tbsp butter and whisk until all melted. Whisk in 1 more Tbsp at a time until melted until the butter's all used.

It's a little labor intensive, but really good. It should be creamy and not grainy. If it "breaks", then add a Tbsp of hot water and whisk a lot and it should come back.

Answer 5

I agree with their answers, get McCormicks packet and have fun.
