  • Boil down the lemon juice with the salt and pepper until it has reduced to 1 tablespoon.
  • Remove from heat and immediately beat in 2 pieces of chilled butter.
  • Set over very low heat and beat in the rest of the butter, a piece at a time, to make a thick, creamy sauce.
  • If made ahead of time, just before serving beat in hot water or vegetable stock a few dribbles at a time to reheat.
