Why is my blender hollandaise sauce runny?

Being a rich creamy sauce, the way hollandaise is thickened is not with fat form the butter. It is with the thick egg yolks and the mixing action of the whisk. Since we might make the sauce too runny by adding too much butter, adding more egg yolk should help us to thicken up the hollandaise.

How do you fix runny hollandaise?

If you have beaten in your butter too quickly, and the sauce refuses to thicken, it is easily remedied. Rinse out a mixing bowl with hot water. Put in a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of the sauce. Beat with a wire whip for a moment until the sauce creams and thickens.

How much flour is needed for a Roux?

Begin by heating 2 tablespoons oil or fat in a saucepan over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil will just begin to bubble. Then, whisk in 3-1/2 tablespoons of flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Continue whisking as the roux gently bubbles and cooks to the shade desired.
