Cut the butter into small chunks and add to the saucepan.
Turn the heat on the cooker to medium and begin to whisk the ingredients. As the butter
melts, make sure that you blend it thoroughly into the egg yolks. Continue to whisk
vigorously until all of the butter has blended into the eggs.
If the sauce begins to separate, add 2 tsp of water to the sauce mixture and whisk
briskly until the mixture has combined together to form a creamy sauce.
Once all of the butter has melted and a sauce has been formed, continue whisking until
the sauce thickens to the desired consistency.
Add more salt and pepper if required.
Remove from the heat and keep the sauce warm before serving for up to 30 minutes.
