Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 tablespoons Lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 Salt
1 Cayenne
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

In the top of a double boiler, slowly whisk ¾ cup water into the cornstarch. Stir in the lemon juice, salt and cayenne to taste. Place the top over simmering water and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Remove the top from the heat. Whisk in the egg yolks, one at a time, and one tablespoon of the butter. Replace over the water and cook until slightly thickened, about three minutes, stirring constantly.

When ready to serve, whisk in the remaining butter; taste and correct the seasonings.
