Ingredients
  

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), cut into cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a small pan, mix egg yolks and lime juice with vigor until creamy and well-blended. Cut butter into small squares and add half to the pan.
  • Place the pan on low heat, stirring continuously as the butter gently melts and the mixture begins to thicken in about 5 minutes. Then remove from heat.
  • Add remaining butter, whisking swiftly until it fully melts, leaving you with a smooth, velvety sauce. Sprinkle in salt and cayenne for a light kick, then serve right away.

Notes

I recommend making this sauce as close to serving time as possible to enjoy its full flavor and creaminess. No special gear needed, just a whisk and a little patience.
