Make the Hollandaise Sauce:
- Put 4 tablespoons of butter or dairy-free substitute in a heavy medium saucepan and melt over low heat.
- Whisk in gluten-free light buckwheat flour or sweet rice flour and continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove pan from heat. Whisk in milk or dairy-free substitute and return to medium heat. Continue to whisk until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove pan from heat and whisk in egg yolks, one at a time. Return pan to low heat.
- Whisk in melted butter, lemon juice and hot sauce. Remove pan from heat. Hollandaise shouldn't be "too" thick. If needed, thin with a few drops of hot water.
