When we were growing up eggs
benedict became the traditional Christmas morning fare. My father
developed his own hollandaise sauce, which was both delicious and fool
proof!
6 egg yolks
1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup butter (melted)
Dash salt
1 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
Blend yolks
in blender, add boiling water, butter and salt. Continue blending.
Remove from blender and cook in double boiler over boiling water. Cook
until thick, stirring constantly. Add lemon juice to taste. If sauce
becomes lumpy or too thick, put it back in the blender and mix.
