Classic Hollandaise Sauce

Categories:
other

2 egg yolks
3 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup margarine or butter; divided

Stir 2 egg yolks, slightly beaten, and 3 tablespoons lemon juice vigorously in 1-qt saucepan with wooden spoon. Add 1/4 cup margarine or butter. Heat over very low heat, stirring constantly, until margarine is melted. Add 1/4 cup margarine or butter, stirring vigorously until margarine is melted and sauce thickens.

Be sure margarine melts slowly; this gives eggs time to cook and thicken sauce without curdling.

Serve hot or at room temperature.
