INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup butter
• 3/4 teaspoon saffron threads
• 6 egg yolks, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• Salt and cayenne pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

• In a small pan over low heat, melt butter; add saffron. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• In top of a double boiler, combine egg yolks and lemon juice. Whisk well. Place over simmering water and whisk constantly until mixture begins to thicken. Add melted butter drop by drop, whisking constantly. Mixture should emulsify, becoming silky and shiny as egg yolks absorb butter. When all butter has been incorporated, season to taste with salt and cayenne. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a double boiler.
