Ingredients:  
4 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice - juice from about ½ a lemon
1 shot Tabasco-see Notes below
1/4 pound butter (one stick)

Directions:
Directions:
Melt the stick of butter in a sauce pan, and keep warm. Into a blender or food processor place the yolks, salt, mustard, lemon juice, and Tobasco. Blend for three seconds. Heat your melted butter until it just starts to sputter, but not burn. Then turn the blender/processor back on, and while the blender is going, slowly pour in the hot butter. The temperature of the butter is the secret: It must be very hot, and the hollandaise will thicken immediately. To make a smoother silkier sauce, use only the clarified portion of the melted butter, carefully pouring and leaving the white milk solids in the sauce pan. Personally, I find that pouring in all the butter, including the milk solids, makes for a much tastier sauce, and seems less wasteful to me.
The texture should be that of a thick sauce. If your sauce is more of a custard, or if it resembles curdled milk, then you added the butter too quickly.
Serve on vegetables, poached eggs, or meats, potatoes,
