"To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomatist-the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar."

Please note that all microwaves are different. The times in this recipe are for a 650-750 watt microwave oven. Stronger microwaves will obviously require less time.

Place butter in a 2-cup glass bowl. Microwave on high 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice, cream, dry mustard, salt, hot sauce, and egg yolks in this order. Whisk well before placing in microwave. Heat on high temperature for 1 minute, whisking strongly for 5 seconds every 15 seconds. If you have a powerful microwave, be sure to stir at shorter intervals to avoid scrambling the eggs. Remove from the microwave and continue to whisk for at least 30 more seconds until smooth.
