Ingredients

  • 150g butter (Olivani worked)
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 dessert spoon white vinegar
  • 1 lemon

Method

  1. Put a pot of water over the heat with a heatproof bowl that can fit inside without touching the water. Bring water to a simmer.
  2. Melt the butter in a separate pot or Pyrex jug and set aside.
  3. Turn the heat down low. Crack the egg yolks into the heatproof bowl and place it over the pot. Whisk constantly (ensure it doesn’t get too hot or it will scramble).
  4. Add the vinegar and continue whisking.
  5. Slowly add the melted butter, whisking continuously as it thickens.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, then gradually add lemon juice to loosen and balance the flavour. Continue whisking until desired taste and consistency is achieved.
