Yield makes about 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 egg yolks or 2 whole eggs
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup warm chicken or other stock, preferably homemade (pages 160-163)
Pinch of cayenne
Salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Beat the egg yolks in a bowl until light and foamy (with an electric mixer, about a minute; by hand, 2 or 3). Slowly add the lemon juice, still beating. Gradually add the stock, still beating, followed by the cayenne.
  • Transfer to a small saucepan and place over low heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens slightly (it will not be super thick) and is hot, just a few minutes. Do not boil. Taste and adjust the seasoning, then use immediately.
