INSTRUCTIONS
Place a skillet on the stove and add about 1/2 inch of water. Bring
the water to a simmer. Have ready 1 1/2 quart saucepan. Place the
butter in another saucepan and place it over very low heat. Set 1 1/2
quart saucepan in the simmering water in the skillet. Place the egg
yolks in the saucepan. Add the cold water, salt and 1 tsp. lemon
juice. Start beating the egg yolks with a wire whisk, stirring in a
back and forth circular fashion, making certain that the whisk covers
the bottom of the saucepan so the yolks do not stick. It is important
that the heat beneath the saucepan be moderate. When the egg yolks
become custardlike and thickened, start adding the melted butter.
Continue beating, stirring constantly and vigorously, until all the
butter is added. Add the remaining lemon juice and cayenne. From
