PROCEDURE
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks and water together. Over a medium to high heat (on top of the plancha), Cook the yolks until you begin to see ribbons form in the yolks.
- If the yolks become too thick, add a little warm water to thin out. Be careful not to add too much water.
- Once the yolks are cooked, remove from heat and place on the table over a wet towel below it. This is to keep the bowl in place while you whisk in the clarified butter.
- Begin to whisk continually while pouring the clarified butter slowly into the cooked egg yolks. If and when the yolk mixture becomes too thick, add a teaspoon of hot water to thin it out.
- Once all of the butter has been incorporated, pass the hollandaise through a fine chinois using a ladle to push everything through. Add the salt, tabasco, and lemon juice and taste.
- Add more salt to taste.
