Preparation steps
1.
Blanch the beans in salted boilingwater for 6-8 minutes. Drain well.

For the sauce: clarify the butter by melting it and skimming off the foam.

Put the egg yolks and wine into a heatproof bowl and beat over a pan of simmering (not boiling) water until foamy.
4.
Add the butter, in drops at first, then in a thin stream, beating constantly to a creamy, homogenous sauce. The egg yolks must not curdle - don't let it boil! Season with salt and pepper and add lemon juice to taste.
