No-Fail Microwave Hollandaise Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
3 large egg yolks
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (to taste)

Preparation

Put butter in a safe 4-cup measure. Microwave 20 sec. on high, until butter is soft but not melted. (This may take up to 60 seconds if the butter is cold from the fridge.).
In a small bowl, mix yolks and lemon juice.
Add mixture to softened butter. Let set for 1 minute.
Microwave on high, stopping to whisk every 15 sec.
The mixture WILL be lumpy for the first two whippings. Sauce is done when smooth and thick. Do not over work.
