4

Add the sugar and whisk for another 30 seconds

5

Place the mixture over the simmering water and whisk constantly for 3 to 5 minutes, or until there is a clear line that is drawn in the mixture when you pull your whisk through, or the mixture coats the back of a spoon

6

Remove the bowl from over the pan and gradually add the butter, 1 piece at a time, and whisk until all of the butter is incorporated

Place the bowl back over the simmering water occasionally so that it will be warm enough the melt the butter
