Hollandaise Sauce

Last night I made Hollandaise Sauce. It was quite easy and only took about half an hour to make. It tasted a little different that I thought it would, but it was still good. I found out the reason why it tastes so delicious, and it is because there is like a pound of butter in it! At first my problem was that it wasn't thickening up and it took about ten minutes until it did. Then my problem was that it was too thick (like the consistency of pudding). In the recipe book, there was a bunch of things that told you what to do if something happened, like if it was too thick. It said to put one to two tablespoons of water in it or it had a list of other things you could put in it to make it less thick. Then my problem was that it was a little too thin. But I gave up, and my dad said that it was fine the way it was. After all, the sauce was really good. We had it with asparagus, and it was delicious!

For next time I am making the hardest recipe ever. Guess what it is.........Scrambled Eggs! It is like the easiest recipe ever! Ha ha. I can't even believe that the recipe for Scrambled Eggs is in Julia Child's recipe book!

Until next time (hopefully soon)

  2. Sorry I couldn't answer sooner.

    I don't know exactly how many more recipes I am going to make, but I will most likely stop cooking a little before the end of the school year.
