INGREDIENTS

  • 120 ml white wine
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 150 g butter (cut into pieces)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 pinch of pepper
  • 1 pinch of salt

PREPARATION

  1. Egg yolks and wine over steam, whisking well or until foamy. Whisk until the mixture is almost fluffy. For the perfect steam, fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Once the water is boiling, place a suitable bowl on top for processing, but reduce the heat so that the water no longer boils.
  2. Throughout the process, always make sure that the sauce does not get too hot.
  3. Gradually add the butter pieces, keep beating constantly. Gradually incorporate the butter pieces. If this process is too fast, the sauce will curdle. If this happens, simply add 1-2 tablespoons of cold water or another piece of cold butter.
  4. Add only the juice of the lemon. Add salt and pepper. Beat over steam until the mixture thickens.
  5. Serve the sauce while it is still warm.
TIP
