Melt butter; set aside.
Separate egg yolks. In top of double boiler, whisk yolks with water, lemon juice, and hot sauce. The mixture should start to lighten; keep whisking until a temperature of 160° F is reached.
Then while whisking, slowly drizzle in the melted butter. The sauce will thicken and coat the back of a spoon.
Finish by whisking in salt and chili powder. Remove from heat.
Keep at 160° F in an airtight container until ready to serve.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
