Instructions
Place a saucepan with about 2 cms (1 inch) water in it on high heat to boil, and reduce to a rapid simmer.

Whisk until the yolks and sugar are thick.
Place the bowl on top of the simmering water and whisk vigorously until the mixture starts to become even thicker and almost double in volume.
