TO MAKE SAUCE, brown the butter in a saucepan; add scallions; sauté until golden. Add vinegar and water, cook until only half the liquid remains. Beat egg yolks very thoroughly in bowl. In another bowl, mix cornstarch in milk, add this mixture to the egg yolks, then blend in some liquid from the pot, beating all the while.
