Hollandaise Sauce

Ingredients
125g Butter (diced)
2 Egg Yolks
1 Tablespoon Water
1 Tablespoon White Wine Vinegar
1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
Pinch of White Pepper
Pinch of Sugar

Equipment
1 Mixing Bowl
1 Balloon Whisk
1 Pan Gently Simmering Water

The Good Bit
  1. Throw all the ingredients except the butter in your bowl and whisk until the mixture is light and frothy, now place the bowl over the simmering water and continue whisking until the sauce thickens and the whisk begins to leave a trail.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and start to add the butter a cube at a time whisking well between each addition until all the butter is gone, the sauce should be shiny and thick, season to taste and serve.
