Hollandaise sauce enjoys the reputation of being difficult to make. I'm here to show you that it is actually very simple.
Add egg yolks, butter, lemon juice, and water to a cold pot
Place pot over MEDIUM-LOW heat and whisk slowly and continuously until the butter has melted. Continue to whisk, about 5 minutes, until sauce steams and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon
Remove pot from heat, whisk in cayenne, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve warm
