Ingredients

  • 125 g of butter
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 5 g of white wine vinegar
  • 1 handful of fresh tarragon
  • 0.5 juice of ½ lemon

Method

  1. Step 1

    Melt the butter in a saucepan.
  2. Step 2

    In a mixing bowl, add the egg yolks and the vinegar and place the bowl over a pan of boiling water.
  3. Step 3

    Whisk the eggs and vinegar over the water in the bowl and start adding the butter a little at a time, keep whisking until all the butter is incorporated. If it gets too hot the mix will split, so add a little cold water (less than a teaspoon) to stop the mix from scrambling.
  4. Step 4

    Add the lemon juice and whisk in well, remove from the heat and keep warm.
  5. Step 5

    Taste and add a little black pepper if needed at this point - then can add the tarragon to finish the Bearnaise sauce.
