Hollandaise sauce
Hollandaise sauce is that lovely creamy sauce you have tasted a hundred times on eggs benedict or over a poached salmon. It is not that difficult to make at all if you remember just a couple of simple rules that are outlined for you below. The most important - don't let the sauce boil as you are thickening it. Prep time: Cook time: Ingredients: Directions: Continue beating the yolks constantly until they thicken. The yolks have thickened enough when you begin to see the bottom of the bowl between strokes and the mixture forms a light cream on the wires of the whisk. Immediately remove the bowl from over the water. Add the butter, in very small pieces, whisking in each pat and allowing it to melt before adding the next. When you are finished, the mixture should be very smooth and light. Pass the sauce through a fine sieve and stir in the seasonings and lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, thin it a bit with cold water. Keep in a warm place. Reminder:
Did You Know?...Plus, don't let the water in the double boiler come to a full boil. Either will cause the sauce to curdle, the end of your efforts to create a great sauce.
