01In a small sauce pan, beat the three egg yolks with a whisk.
02Add the lemon juice, water, and salt and whisk to combine.
03Over low heat, beat until it is smooth, creamy and thicker. This is the first emulsion.
04Remove the pan from the heat and add the melted butter by 1/4 teaspoon. Do NOT add faster than this.
05When the sauce resembles thick cream, begin adding the melted butter by 1/2 tablespoon. Do NOT add faster than this.
06It will take about 5 minutes to finish the entire process and create the second emulsion which is the finished Hollandaise Sauce.
