Steps

1
Bring the veloute to a bare simmer and reduce it by about a quarter so it will not be thinned by the liaison.
2
Whisk the egg yolks with the cream in a bowl to make the liaison.
3
Temper it: whisk in several ladles of the hot veloute one at a time. Pouring yolks straight into hot sauce scrambles them instantly.
4
Return the tempered mixture to the pan over the lowest possible heat.
5
Stir constantly until it thickens enough to coat a spoon. Never let it reach a simmer once the yolks are in — 80°C is the ceiling.
6
Take off the heat and whisk in the cold butter a cube at a time.
7
Finish with lemon juice, nutmeg and white pepper, then strain through a fine sieve.
