Place in the eggs in the double boiler, whisking until they begin to thicken. Add one tablespoon boiling water, continuing to whisk the sauce. Repeat with remaining water, one tablespoon at a time. Add the lemon juice, and then remove the double boiler from heat. Continue to whisk the sauce while slowly pouring in the melted butter. Add the salt and cayenne pepper, and beat the sauce until thick.
