Key Lime Hollandaise Sauce

Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• 1 1/2 tablespoons hot water
• 20 fluid ounces clarified butter
• 2 tablespoons Key lime luice (or more if needed)
• Pinch of salt
• Cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce, to taste

Instructions

1. Combine egg yolks and hot water in a bowl and thicken over simmering water, whipping constantly. (Adding a little bit of the lime juice at this point will make the mixture more stable and less liable to "break."')
2. When eggs are a smooth custard, remove from heat.
3. Slowly add warm clarified butter, whipping constantly.
4. Add Key lime juice, salt and cayenne pepper.
5. Adjust flavor and consistency.
