• Egg yolk

  Raw, fresh

  4 large yolk (separated from white) or 68g

• White Wine Vinegar

  Racconto

  ⅔ tbs or 67g

• Onion powder

  Spices

  ¼ tsp or 0.6g

• Tarragon

  Spices, dried

  2 tbsp, leaves or 4g

• Butter

  Unsalted

  1 ⅓ cup or 303g

• Salt

  Table

  2 dash or 0.8g

• Pepper

  Spices, black

  2 dash or 0.2g

Directions

1. Crack the eggs and separate the egg yolks into a heat-resistant bowl. Save the egg whites for something else, for example a tortilla bread.
2. Mix white-wine vinegar, onion powder and tarragon in a separate small bowl.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan without letting it turn brown.
4. Slowly beat in the butter one drop at a time into the egg yolks and continue to whisk, increase the pace into a thin stream as the sauce thickens. Continue to whisk until all the butter has been added. The white milk protein that has accumulated at the bottom of the pan should not be included.
5. Add the vinegar and tarragon mixture. Stir together, salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
6. Tip! A béarnaise sauce will separate if it gets too hot. The safest way to prevent this is to use a double boiler. Don’t have one? Then simmer water in a pot and remove from the heat. Adjust the water level in the pot so that you can lower the heat-proof bowl with the finished béarnaise sauce into the pot to keep it warm (without letting the hot water touch the bowl).
