Let cool, strain through a fine sieve into a saucepan and beat in 3 egg yolks, added one at a time, beating well after each addition and stir briskly with a wire whisk over low heat until the sauce has thickened to the consistency of mayonnaise. In another saucepan, melt the butter. Cool butter to the touch and slowly, in a thin stream, add to the yolk mixture. Beat in parsley and paprika. Sauce should be warm, not hot.
