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 cornstarch

Equipment

  • 1 small pot
  • 1 Measuring Cups
  • 1 Measuring Spoons

  • 1 bow with lid medium, about 4 cup size

Method
 

  1. In your small pan over medium heat, combine all ingredients EXCEPT egg yolk, water and cornstarch.
  2. Heat over medium heat until boiling whisking often. Once full boil is reached, reduce heat and simmer for 5 mins whisking occasionally.
  3. Remove pan from heat and allow mixture to col for 10 minutes.
  4. While sauce is cooling, whisk egg yolk and 2 tsp water together med bowl until pale yellow. About 1 to 2 min.
  5. Whisk in cornstarch until dissolved.
  6. Slowly drizzle hot sauce mixture from pot into egg yolk mixture in bowl, while constantly whisking. (see notes)
  7. 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.
