Method
- Pour the vinegar into a saucepan (not an aluminium pan) and add the tarragon and peppercorns. Bring the vinegar to the boil and boil rapidly until it’s reduced by about half, and then remove the pan from the heat.
- Break the egg yolks into a bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and strain the vinegar into the egg yolks and whisk together.
- Tip: If sauce overheats and appears to separate, remove the bowl from over the hot water and whisk in 1 tbsp cold water. If that doesn’t work, try whisking another egg yolk in a clean bowl and gradually whisk the separated sauce into it.
Top Tip for making Hollandaise sauce
