TO GET READY
1. Pour water in a medium pan and bring water to a boil, then allow it to simmer.

3. In it combine butter, sugar and nutmeg.
4. Fit the basin over the pan of simmering water and use a whisk or wooden spoon to whisk the mixture until melted and smooth.
5. Take pan off the heat.
6. Beat the egg yolks and add gradually into the sauce, whisking to incorporate it. The sauce will get thicker.
