Date: Sun, 10 Mar 1996 23:19:26 -0800 From: "sharon@sols.com" <sharon@sols.com> These are adapted recipes from Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook for those concerned about their carbohydrate intake instead of fat. (Yes, there really are some of us out here:) If you're old enough, this is probably the way your mother used to cook. Happy Lowcarbing and Bon Appetit! Melt butter in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling water. (Or just use a non-stick pan on direct low heat source.) Add egg yolks one at a time beating with whisk after each addition. Add 1/4 cup water and cream. Continue to whisk until sauce begins to thicken, approx. 7 - 10 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, add arrowroot mixed with additional 1T. of water and add to sauce. The added carbs are minimal but the texture of the sauce is a bit thicker. Add nutmeg for garnish if desired. TIP: Use only real butter to achieve the thickest consistency of sauce.

I'm always in a hurry and use a regular, non-stick pan with the same success.
