I think next time I will use more egg yolks (perhaps mine were too small), and a bit more butter, while cutting back the vinegar by a tablespoon or so. Well written step-by-step instructions, though.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup white-wine vinegar 1 shallot, minced 1 1/2 teaspoons dried tarragon 4 large egg yolks 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces Coarse salt

Directions

In a small saucepan, bring vinegar, shallot, and tarragon to a boil. Cook until liquid has reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 4 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve. Rinse out saucepan, and return strained vinegar.

Add egg yolks and 2 tablespoons water. Cook, over low heat, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens and forms thick ribbons, 3 to 4 minutes.

Whisk in butter, if sauce gets too hot (it starts to bubble), remove from heat and whisk in a piece of butter. Continue whisking until all the butter has been absorbed, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately transfer to a bowl to stop further cooking. Season with salt. Use immediately, or keep warm over a pan of barely simmering water.
