4 egg yolks 1/2 tsp. salt dash Tabasco 1 T lemon juice 8 T butter Combine egg yolks, seasonings, & lemon juice in container of blender and turn the blender on and off, at high or "blend" setting, just to blend the mixture. Heat the butter until it is bubbling and very hot, but not browned. Remove the insert from the lid of the blender, turn the blender to high or "blend," and pour the hot butter in a thin, continuous stream - do not pour too fast or the eggs will not absorb the butter properly. When the butter is absorbed and the sauce thick, turn off the blender. If the sauce should start curdling while you are adding the butter, pour 1 Tbsp. hot water into the sauce while the blender is running.
