HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
Cream one-half cup butter. Add four well-beaten egg yolks, then the juice of one-half of a lemon, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne. Pour a cupful of hot water in slowly. Mix and set in a saucepan of hot water. Stir until the sauce becomes a thick cream. Do not allow it to boil. Stir a few minutes after removing from the fire. It is a fine sauce for fish, asparagus or cauliflower.
