Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter however you find most convenient. Hold it warm.

  3. In a stainless steel bowl, whisk the eggs together with the lemon juice and salt.
  4. Place the bowl over the simmering water (the bowl shouldn't touch the water) to make a double boiler, and whisk constantly, adding 3/4 cup of hot water a few tablespoons at a time, until the eggs have thickened into a ribbony, lemon-yellow, creamy, uniform mixture.
  5. Turn off the heat and slowly whisk in the butter, adding it a tablespoonful at a time.
  6. Add the red pepper.
  7. Serve warm.
