Reduced heat to low and add a few table spoons of butter, whisking constantly. Add remaining butter a few pieces at a time, until you have used all the butter( the sauce should have a nappe consistency or coat the back of a spoon)
2. Remove from the heat, then season to taste and add the lemon juice. Pour through a sieve and discard the shallots. Serve immediately.
