Hollandaise Sauce

This is a simple but super good hollandaise sauce recipe that I make a lot to drizzle on asparagus or dip artichokes in (artichoke season starts this month!).
It can be a little tricky to make correctly, but the key is to do it slowly over a really low heat so that the eggs don't scramble, and to whisk constantly.

1 cube butter
2 egg yokes
3 Tbsp lemon juice (fresh or bottled, it doesn't matter)

Add all ingredients together in a small sauce pan and whisk constantly over a low heat until it's combined and almost the consistency of pudding, but not quite as stiff as pudding.
