Interesting comment:

Maybe it was a matter of operator error, but this sauce never thickened for me. So I went back to the listed recipes and tried the blender hollandaise from 1962 (good year). It was a hit with my family. The difference is the addition of a tablespoon of cream, one T of lemon and 3 yolks. Also, you add hot butter. I used my food processor with the lide on the opening and did not get splattered.
