Ingredients:

• 12 egg yolks
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder, optional
• 24 ounces clarified butter (start with two pounds of butter)

• Slowly pour off the oil part into another container
• Discard the solids

Instructions:

• In a sauce pan combine lemon juice, salt and cayenne and warm this mixture slightly
• In a separate pan, warm the clarified butter
• Using a round bottom stainless steel bowl over a pan of simmering water, beat egg yolks with wire whip and add the boiling water very slowly while continuing to whip.
  

• Add the lemon juice, salt and cayenne mixture and whip over the boiling water until eggs are cooked and mixture is semi-thick
• Using a ladle slowly and gradually add a few drops of hot clarified butter at a time to the egg mixture while whipping with the wire whip. Scrape the mixture away from the sides and bottom of your stainless steel bowl as you stir to keep the sauce smooth
