Delicate Mustard Sauce

425g can chicken broth
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard to taste

3 egg yolks

Method: Place chicken broth in saucepan and simmer until broth is reduced to 1.1/4 cups. Beat egg yolks, add lemon juice and 1/2 cup reduced broth stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Gradually pour egg yoke [sic] mixture into remaining chicken broth stirring and heating until thickened. Remove from heat. Add mustard to taste. Serve warm and use as a dip for cocktail frankfurts.
