Hollandaise Sauce

- Place the egg yolk and 2 tablespoons of water in the mixing bowl to begin the Hollandaise sauce.
- Whisk vigorously until the egg yolk is fully combined with the water and the mixture is frothy.
- Stream in the clarified butter slowly while whisking.
- Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the mixing bowl from the double boiler and turn off the heat.
- Whisk the egg and butter mixture vigorously until the sauce thickens further and begins to form soft peaks.
- Add the Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and salt, then whisk until well combined.
- Taste the Hollandaise sauce and adjust seasonings to taste. Place the Hollandaise sauce in a warm area to prevent separation.
