Real Vermont Cooking

Ingredients 4 tbsp. water egg yolks 3/4 cups clarified butter Cayenne pepper to taste Lemon juice to taste Combine the egg yolks and water. Over a water bath and in a stainless steel bowl, cook the egg yolks slowly until they thicken and lighten in color. Slowly begin to whisk in the clarified butter. As more butter is absorbed, you may add more faster. When a good consistency, season to taste with cayenne and lemon juice. © 1984 John Albrecht, CEC
