Preparation method

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot. Then remove from heat and set aside.

Whisk the egg yolks in a heatproof bowl (stainless steel or glass) with 2 tablespoons of water and a pinch of salt.

In a small saucepan, bring the white wine vinegar with the white wine and a little pepper to a boil. Reduce the liquid to about 2 tablespoons (reduction) and, stirring constantly with a whisk, add it to the egg yolks in the bowl.

Chef's tip

It's best to use a flat whisk for beating. Since Sauce Hollandaise tends to curdle easily when reheated, it should always be prepared fresh and served immediately. If necessary, it can be kept warm briefly in a warm (not boiling!) bain-marie.
