Hollandaise Disaster! Help please!
« on: April 06, 2012, 12:35:50 am »
Sorry, I have no idea if this is the right section or not! I just tried to make hollandaise sauce....twice...both ended in disaster!! The first lot ended with scrambled eggs with melted over it, the second looked great till I went to pour it out and it sat for a minute and the butter split and sat ontop.

What am I doing wrong??? I followed the recipe to a tee!! Help please!!

Does it look like this 'broken hollandaise' on this video KazAndCo.  Could you use that technique for yours perhaps?

Brilliant! Easy enough to do in the Thermomix too. Not that I've had any broken Hollandaise issues, but good to know just in case.
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Thankyou for that vid! That's exactly how it looked! I cracked it & threw it out but I'll keep that in mind for next time!!

So, why would mine be not working do you think?

I googled 2. The first one was

130gm cold butter
4 egg yolks
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Salt & pepper

Cooked with butterfly at 90degrees in reverse for 8 mins. It didn't say what speed so I did speed 1 which mustn't have been fast enough?

The second one was the same ingredients but only 1 tsp of lemon juice with butterfly at 90degrees mins speed 3.

Try Alyce Alexandra's recipe with my tweaks:
120g butter, cut into chunks
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
Juice 1/2 lemon
30g white vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard

Place butterfly into TM jug.
Add all ingredients and cook 6 minutes, 70, speed 3.
😊
