Melt the butter and rest briefly until the milk solids sink.
Whisk the egg yolks, water, and lemon juice over a bain-marie for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the clarified butter in a thin stream while continuing to whisk.
When the sauce thickens and turns glossy, season with salt and use immediately.
💡 Tip: Pour in the butter in a thin stream, adding it too quickly can split the sauce.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with poached eggs or steamed asparagus.
