1
Prepare the Ingredients
Separate the egg yolks from the whites and place the yolks in a medium mixing bowl. Measure out the lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper, and set aside.
2
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until completely melted. Keep it warm but not boiling.

3
Whisk Egg Yolks
In the mixing bowl with the egg yolks, add the lemon juice and whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
4
Heat the Mixture
Place the mixing bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler. Continue whisking the yolk mixture constantly until it thickens and doubles in volume (about 3-5 minutes).
5
Incorporate Butter
Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously. This should create an emulsion. Continue to whisk until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce is thick and creamy.
6
Season the Sauce
Add salt and cayenne pepper to taste. Whisk to combine well.
