This recipe is a healthy version of hollandaise but tastes just like the real deal!
Ingredients
1Tbspcornstarch
1cuplow fat buttermilk
2egg yolks
2Tbps.butter cut into cubes
1Tbpslemon juice
1-2tspDijon, optional
1/2tspsalt
1/4tspwhite or black pepper, optional
Instructions
In a medium sauce pan over medium/low heat, whisk together the cornstarch and buttermilk until well combined and there are no lumps.
Add the egg yolks to the saucepan and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens (maybe 2-3 minutes). Be patient! It may seem like it isn't thickening at all but then all of a sudden it will thicken up perfectly!
Once the mixture has thickened, reduce heat to low, add the cubed butter, lemon juice, dijon mustard (optional), salt, and pepper (optional), and whisk until butter has melted and all ingredients are well combined.
Serve immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container (see note 1).
Notes
Note 1:To reheat microwave for 30 seconds at a time while mixing in between.TIP: If you think your sauce is a little too thick, simply add a little more milk. If it is too thin, let it cook a little longer or add a TINY bit more cornstarch. You're the chef and you call the shots!
