You can add saffron successfully to any hollandaise recipe.
Steep threads in hot water for 20 minutes. Cook egg yolks and
saffron in double boiler over low heat until thickened, stirring
constantly. When thickened, begin adding butter pieces, incorporating
each piece before adding another. Add lemon juice and keep warm in
pan of water until ready to serve.
