Notes: Hollandaise is a classical, lemony butter sauce that is thickened with egg yolks. Like all butter sauces, it must be cooked gently, because it will separate or curdle if over-heated.
* To Clarify Butter: Clarified butter is pure butterfat which has had the milk solids removed in order to raise the smoke point while maintaining rich butter flavor. To clarify butter, melt the butter in a heavy sauce pan over medium-low heat. Continue cooking until the butterfat because very clear and the milk solids drop to the bottom of the pot. Skim the surface foam as the butter clarifies. Ladle off the butterfat into another container, being careful to leave all the milky residue in the bottom of the pan. It is much easier to clarify at least one pound of butter at a time. One pound of whole butter yields approximately 12 ounces of clarified butter.
