This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

Hollandaise doesn't have to be frustrating, you just need the right technique. Here it is, follow it well and you'll have your ticket to elegant eggs Benny whenever the mood strikes you. Which will be often.

1 1/2 sticks butter, cold
1 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
3 egg yolks
Cut the butter into tablespoon-sized slices (use the guide on the package).
Combine 4 tablespoons of the butter, the lemon juice, and egg yolks in the top of a double boiler over simmering, not boiling, water. Cook, whisking constantly, for 3 minutes or until the butter is melted.
While whisking, add the remaining butter in 1-tablespoon increments, stirring until each addition melts before adding the next.
Use the sauce immediately or cover and refrigerate and reheat using the double boiler.

This was so easy and tasted yummy! Reminds me of the old recipe my mom made when I was a child. I added a full 2 tablespoons on lemon juice just because I like a little more lemon! Great job and thanks for the recipe!
