½cupclarified butterheated to at least 190° Fahrenheit
¼teaspoonsaltor to taste
⅛teaspoonwhite pepperor to taste
pinch1/16 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
BRING eggs to room temperature.
HEAT clarified butter to at least 190° Fahrenheit.
CRACK the eggs and separate the egg yolk from the whites. Save the whites for another recipe.
POUR egg yolks, water, lemon juice and hot clarified butter into an immersion blender container with an opening just large enough to fit the immersion blender head. A tall drinking glass is a good a substitute.
USE the whipping blade on the immersion blender.
PLACE immersion blender into the bottom of the container with the ingredients.
POWER on the blender and mix for 30 to 45 seconds, slowly bringing the blender up to the top of the container. The mixture will immediately emulsify and thicken.
