Ingredients:  
1/2 c. butter
4 beaten egg yolks
1 tsp. finely chopped shallot or green onion
3 tbsp. vinegar (I use tarragon vinegar and omit the dried tarragon)
1/4 tsp. dried tarragon, crushed
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. white pepper
Directions:
Directions:
Cut butter into thirds and bring it to room temperature. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, shallot/onion, tarragon, salt, and pepper. Bring to boiling; boil 2 minutes on high till reduced by about half. In the top of a double boiler combine yolks, 1 tbsp. water, and vinegar mixture. Add one piece of the butter. Place over the boiling water (upper pan should not touch water). Cook, stirring rapidly, till butter melts and sauce begins to thicken. Add remaining butter, a piece at a time, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened (1 to 2 minutes). Immediately remove from heat. If sauce is too thick or if it curdles, immediately beat in 1 or 2 tbsp. of hot tap water.
