I made my Crab Cakes with homemade garlic mash potatoes. What I failed to include with the Crab Cake recipe was a sauce for them. The one I made tonight was a easy blender Hollandaise. This Mother Sauce goes with almost everything. There are 5 Mother Sauces from which most sauces are made from: Hollandaise, Bechamel, Tomato, Espagnole(Brown), and Veloutte. Some people also include Mayonnaise in this list. Try it one night and let me know what you served it with.
Hollandaise Sauce
2 Egg Yolks
1 Whole Egg
2 Sticks (1/2 lb) Margarine
1 Stick (1/4lb) Butter
1 ½ teaspoon Lemon Juice
½ teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
½ teaspoon Ground White Pepper
¼ teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Melt margarine and butter over medium fire. Bring to a boil, remove from fire and allow to cool. Blend egg yolks, egg, vinegar, cayenne, white pepper, and lemon juice. With blender on, pour melted margarine/butter slowly into other ingredients. Blend to thick.
I remember this recipe. It's similar if not the same as the Cannon's one. Jerry gave it to me when I worked there. It's still my go to hollandaise recipe. Very hard to mess up.
ReplyDeleteYes it is the same one.
