How To Make Hollandaise Sauce

- Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, Franks Hot Sauce, salt and cayenne pepper into a high powered blender. Blend for 10 seconds. (If you are using an immersion blender, add the ingredients to a wide mouth mason jar and blend for 10 seconds).
- Slowly pour in the hot ghee into the mixture as the blender is running on medium speed.

Hollandaise Sauce
- Add 3 egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, hot sauce and cayenne pepper to a mason jar.
- Heat ½ cup ghee over low heat until completely melted.
- Add a little bit of the melted ghee to the mason jar and use an immersion blender on high speed to start blending together. Slowly (really slowly) pour the rest of the melted ghee in the jar as you are blending. As you blend, the sauce will begin to thicken.
- Note: If you do not have an immersion blender, do all of the steps with a regular blender.
