Soups And Sauces
5 ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter
  • 4 egg yolks
  • dash salt
  • dash cayenne

  2. Serve at once or keep warm by immersing the blender container in warm water. Store left-over sauce in the refrigerator; reheat over (not in) hot water. Yield: 1 generous cup.
  3. Blender Bearnaise: Substitute tarragon vinegar for the lemon juice and a generous dash of fresh ground pepper for the cayenne. Proceed as directed. Spoon into a serving bowl; fold in 2 or 3 tablespoons snipped parsley plus a dash of onion salt if desired.
