Equipment

  • 1 small pot
  • 1 Measuring Cups
  • 1 Measuring Spoons
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 bow with lid medium, about 4 cup size

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Frank's Original Hot Sauce
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/8 tsp course ground black pepper
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp water
  • 2 tsp cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • In your small pan over medium heat, combine all ingredients EXCEPT egg yolk, water and cornstarch.
  • Heat over medium heat until boiling whisking often. Once full boil is reached, reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins whisking occasionally.
  • Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to col for 10 minutes.
  • While sauce is cooling, whisk egg yolk and 2 tsp water together med bowl until pale yellow. About 1 to 2 min.
  • Whisk in cornstarch until dissolved.
  • Slowly drizzle hot sauce mixture from pot into egg yolk mixture in bowl, while constantly whisking. (see notes)
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Notes

  • Use Frank's hot sauce for results closest to the original
  • Canola oil can be used in place of vegetable oil.
  • Slowly adding the cooled hot sauce mixture to the yolk mixture while whisking constantly is important because:
    • adding the warm mixture SLOWLY prevents egg from scrambling, so you won't have chunky sauce.
    • Whisking constantly creates an emulsion and prevents the oil from separating.
