- Add egg yolk to the bowl and pour the contents in a pan. Place the pan on simmer. Whisk it constantly.
- Cook till the egg yolk is the thrice the original volume and falls in ribbons from the whisk.
- Remove from the flame and keep on the kitchen towel.
- Now, scoop the warm butter in the egg mixture and whisk it constantly. Add water to it, if it becomes thick and whisk again.
- Garnish it with lemon juice, pepper, cayenne and salt and serve immediately.
- You can also store it and warm it up in a bowel over simmering water before serving.
