''Sauces'' Michel Roux

===Alex's Stick blender Hollandaise===

;Ingredients

:3 egg yolks

:1 tsp water

:115g unsalted butter

:juice of ½ a lemon

:salt & pepper

;Method

#in a cup just large enough for the stick blender put the egg yolks, water and lemon juice

#Melt the butter gently and transfer to a jug - it needs to fluid but not too hot. Put the stick blender in the cup and with it running pour the melted butter in a slow stream into the cup. Continue pouring until all butter is added. Sauce should be creamy and thick enough to coat a spoon but still flow off of it. If it is too thick, whisk in a small amount of warm water, a tsp at a time. Season with salt and pepper/cayenne

#in a cup just large enough for the stick blender put the egg yolks, water and lemon juice

#Over high heat, melt the butter swirling all the time until the foaming subsides and transfer to a jug. Put the stick blender in the cup and with it running pour the melted butter in a slow stream into the cup. Continue pouring until all butter is added. Sauce should be creamy and thick enough to coat a spoon but still flow off of it. If it is too thick, whisk in a small amount of warm water, a tsp at a time. Season with salt and pepper/cayenne

This is essentially the same as Alex's recipe - it didn't work for me because I misread the recipe and added all the butter at the beginning as for mayonnaise. Doh! 🙄
