Preparation

  1. Allow yolks to sit at room temperature for one hour, no more. Whirl yolks and lemon juice in blender for 2 seconds. Remove cover.
  2. Heat oil to 250 degrees in small saucepan. Use thermometer to check temperature; do not let oil heat above 250 degrees or it will cook the eggs instead of emulsifying with them. Add butter; reduce heat and cook until butter is melted.
  3. Immediately turn blender on highest speed and slowly pour oil-butter mixture into eggs; continue blending only until all the mixture has been added. Season with salt, if desired. Use immediately. Do not keep hot on top of stove, or reheat.
