This is incredibly easy, really. I always think it's going to be harder than it is - but it's no worse than mayonnaise, which is also massively easier than I think it's going to be!
1 egg
Juice of 1 lemon
About 125 g butter (1/2 packet)
Salt and pepper to taste
Melt the butter - I use the microwave, and melt it in a little jug so that it is easy to pour. Put the egg and lemon juice in a blender and process for a minute or two until smooth. Leaving the blender running, pour the butter in a very thin stream. When it's all in there, continue to run the blender until it thickens and is smooth. Season to taste, and give a last whizz to mix the seasoning in.
Serve with fish and/or vegetables, especially things like purple sprouting or tenderstem broccoli, or asparagus. It will keep, covered, for a couple of days in the fridge.
