Prevent Hollanda Sauce Recipe

How to make incredible holland sauceAnd this hollanda sauce recipe uses a blender and a short ingredient list, which is actually a defensive feature and is very easy!
Very few homemade sauces and hollanda sauces. It is creamy, velvety, decadent, incredible eggs (hi, egg Benedict), as a dip for vegetables as well as a simple seafood dish.
Dutch fuel is one of the first seasonings I learned to make at a culinary school. We did it manually with a blender and in batches (my arms are too tired!). This home-cook-friendly holland sauce recipe skips the whisk and calls the blender, which means you will have a delicious batch of homemade holland dishes in less than 5 minutes! For another classic sauce, see our homemade mayonnaise.
Key Ingredients
- butter: Butter makes up the bulk of this sauce, so you need a lot of it, spoilers. I used the clarified butter for the Netherlands. This is easy to do and I have shared the following recipes in the way. You can make it with plain melted butter, but the clarification process removes water and milk solids, which causes our sauce to separate or crack. Plus, it’s super rich and buttery so your sauce tastes better. So for the best homemade hollanda sauce sauce, use clear butter.
- yolk: Classic Dutch use egg yolks. You can save the whites later for scrambled (notice that the scrambled egg whites on top are really delicious).
- Lemon juice: You only need a little bit, but the lemon is cut into the richness of our sauce. Fresh squeeze is indeed the best.
- White wine (optional): Here is a tip from chef Richard, who has been responsible for serving Dutch cuisine for brunch services in a high-end hotel for years. You only need a few teaspoons, so only if you have the bottle opened, just add it! It makes the sauce more fun and makes it like lemon, cut into the richness of butter and egg yolk.
- Salt and pepper: Don’t forget to season the sauce and then use a little pepper. Chili is popular, but we skip it and use grated white pepper, which coordinates a little better with the sauce.
Tips for making homemade holland sauce
Hollanda sauce is a rich lotion of egg yolks and butter, cream and decadent waste. While some classic recipes require hand-made bowls and stirring, blenders are a game changer for home cooks (like how food processing programs change the game when making Mayo). It simplifies the process and provides you with beautiful sauce every time. That said, I shared how we made it by hand, anyway, if you want to give it a try. Here are my tips for making perfect Dutch fuel:
Tip 1: Use a blender. While I respect the traditional Dutch fuel (via the dual starter), the blender simplifies the process and frees up you to focus on the rest of the meal.
Tip 2: Use hot butter. Drizzle with hot (not hot) melted butter is key. If the butter is not hot enough, the sauce will not thicken.

Tip 3: Do it before eating. Hollandaise is best to offer immediately. Prepare other dishes first and then make the sauce before serving.
Tip 4: Stay warm. Since the sauce is mostly butter, it will start to cool and thicken. To keep warm, you can place the mixer jar in a bowl of lukewarm water (hot from the faucet) until ready to serve.
Tip 5: Fix the broken holland sauce sauce. While our blender method is even more foolproof, this classic sauce can still crack if your butter is added too fast or not hot enough. Here is what to do if your sauce is resting (note that I use a blender, but you can do this with stirring in a bowl):
- Pour the broken sauce into a bowl.
- Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of warm water to the mixer.
- Open the blender and slowly pour the broken sauce into the blender through the lid. The sauce should be reemulsified and smooth again. Wow!
Provide advice
Use your delicious homemade Dutch dishes such as eggs Benedict (especially in homemade English muffins) and Florence eggs. Vegetables like poached eggs, grilled asparagus and simple seafood dishes such as poached salmon are also great.

This is our favorite recipe for holland sauce. Using a blender and hot butter is the secret to the best results. I prefer clarified butter, which does add a step, but clarified butter removes water and milk solids, which causes the sauce to crack. Plus, it tastes more buttery and rich!
Make 1 cup
You will need
1½ cups Salt-free Butter (340g)
3 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice plus more flavor
2 teaspoons white wine, optional
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/8 teaspoon grated white pepper, plus the flavor, see tips
direction
- Make a clarified butter
1Melt butter: Cut the butter into cubes and place it in a small pan. Melt over medium heat.
2simmer: Bring the melted butter to a mild low heat and cook. Continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes until a foamy layer is formed on the top and the butter below appears transparent and golden.
3Degreasing and straining: Use a spoon to brush the foam from the top. Gently pour transparent liquid butter into the quantum water jug, carefully stopping before pouring clouds into the bottom of the pot, white solids. Make sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator or store it for up to 3 months. Note: You need about 250g (1 cup) of clarified butter to the holland sauce.
- Mixer Netherlands (Preferred Method)
1Heat the butter: Heat 250g (1 cup) in a small pan to clarify butter until it gets hot. Stay warm until ready to use it.
2Mixed eggs: Add egg yolks, lemon juice, white wine, salt and white pepper to the mixer. The pulse takes about 5 seconds.
3Emulsified sauce: After the mixer is running, remove the center insert from the lid. Slowly and steadily pour the hot clear butter into the opening. The sauce will thicken and emulsify. If the sauce is too thick at any time, stir in a tablespoon of warm water to dilute it. Note: If the butter is not hot enough, the sauce will not emulsify correctly.
4Seasons and Services: Taste as needed and adjust with more salt, pepper or lemon juice. Serve immediately or place the stirrer jar in a bowl of warm water.
- Classic Dutch handmade
1Set up a dual boiler: Fill a small pot with about an inch of water and cook it gently. Place a heat-proof bowl on top to make sure the bottom of the bowl is not exposed to water.
2Heat the butter: Heat 250g (1 cup) in a small pan to clarify butter until it gets hot. Stay warm until ready to use it.
3Beat the egg yolk: Add your egg yolks, lemon juice and white wine to the bowl and stir constantly. Pay close attention to them. If they are too hot, lift the bowl off the heat to prevent them from scrambling, then cool it back to place. The yolks will turn from liquid to foam, and then they start to thicken.
4Add butter slowly: Once the yolks have thickened a little, slowly drizzle with warm melted butter. It is crucial to add a little at a time to prevent the sauce from “breaking”. When adding, stir continuously to incorporate butter.
5Adjust and complete: If the sauce is too thick at any time, stir in a tablespoon of warm water to dilute it. After combining all the butter, season the Dutch dish to taste with salt and white pepper.
Adam and Joanne’s Tips
- storage: It is best to enjoy Dutch fuel immediately. You can keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but you need to be careful when reheating as it can easily break (butter separates).
- Reheat the Netherlands: I do not recommend using a microwave, but rather reheat on the stove. Pour the sauce into the pan over low heat. Add a little melted butter and a tablespoon of warm water. Stir as it warms to make it smooth, creamy sauce. If it is too thick, add more warm water.
- Clarified butter with melted butter: You can use plain melted butter in this recipe. Clarified butter is an extra failsafe to prevent the sauce from cracking, and it tastes richer, buttery. The sauce is still cute when made with light butter.
- black pepper: White pepper is pale in the sauce, more delicate, but you can use black pepper or heat, cayenne.
