Blender Hollandaise

My favorite hollandaise sauce shortcut. All the butter, none of the whisking.

Ingredients:
10 Tbs butter
3 egg yolks
1/4 tsp salt, less if you are using salted butter
1/8 tsp cayenne
1 Tbs lemon juice

Heat up your blender by pouring hot water into it and letting it sit while you prepare everything else.
Heat the butter up (microwave or stove top). Don't boil it excessively so that you lose moisture to steam, but do get it bubbling hot.
Once you're ready, blend the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt and cayenne in the blender for about 30 seconds. Then, with the blender running, slowly pour a thin stream of butter in. Blend just for a second or two after you've added all the butter. Taste for salt and lemon. If you add anything, blend for 5 seconds. If it is too thick, you can add hot water and blend briefly to incorporate.
