- Salt and ground pepper
Preparation

Double boiler version
- In a heat-resistant mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
- Place the bowl in a double boiler filled with boiling water and whisk the yolks until you obtain a light, foamy cream. The mixture should thicken slightly.
- Add the cubes of butter one by one, continuing to whisk.
- Season with salt and pepper, and then add the lemon juice. Serve immediately.
- If you are preparing the recipe in advance, set it aside at room temperature. Just before serving, reheat a few seconds in the double boiler while whisking.
