Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 g Butter
  • 3 Egg yolks
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  1. Begin by melting 200 g of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. The butter should be melted but not hot to avoid curdling the egg yolks, which takes about 3-4 minutes.
  2. While the butter is melting, add 3 egg yolks, 1 tsp of Dijon mustard, the juice of 1 lemon, and 1 tsp of sugar to a tall mixing container. These ingredients are essential for forming the emulsion.
  3. Once the butter is melted, place the immersion blender into the container with the egg yolks and turn it on. Keep the blender in the middle of the container and let the mixture thicken briefly.
  4. Now, slowly add the melted butter in a thin stream while moving the immersion blender. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute. The sauce will begin to emulsify and become creamy immediately.
  5. Move the immersion blender up and down to ensure everything is well mixed. After 1-2 minutes, the sauce should reach a thick, creamy consistency.
  6. Season the Hollandaise sauce with salt and pepper. Be careful not to add too much salt to avoid overpowering the delicate flavor of the sauce.
  7. If you are not serving the sauce immediately, store it in the refrigerator until serving. It will keep there for up to 30 minutes without losing quality.

Keywords: Temperature is crucial: ensure the butter is not too hot when adding it. Use a tall mixing container for better mixing and stabilization of the emulsion. If the sauce curdles, you can try to rescue it with another egg yolk and mix gently.
