HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
1/2 cup butter 1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 egg yolks 1/4 teaspoon salt

Divide the butter in three pieces. Put the egg yolks, salt and lemon juice in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water, and beat with a fork. Add the first piece of butter and cook until the butter is melted, stirring constantly. Add the second piece and when that melts, the third piece. Stir constantly. Remove the pan from the fire as soon as the last bit of butter is melted. Lift the pan out of the lower pan of hot water also. The mixture curdles if overcooked. This makes about three-quarters of a cup of sauce.
