Ingredients

  • 6- ounce bottle of Crystal or Franks Hot Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white or black pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch bits
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional

Instructions

  • Add the hot sauce to a small skillet or saucepan. 
  • Whisk in the honey, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder and white pepper until well combined. 
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.  
  • Remove from the heat and whisk the butter into the sauce, a few pieces at a time, until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Whisk in the salt and cayenne pepper according to taste

Notes

  • Honey will balance out the taste and heat of the hot sauce.
  • White pepper is recommended if you do not want black specks in the sauce.
  • Whisk the butter in 2 to 3 pieces at a time and allow it to fully incorporate before adding the next piece. This will help the butter emulsify more thoroughly.
  • Adding additional bits of butter will bring down the spice level.
  • Taste the sauce before adding salt and cayenne pepper and adjust it to your taste preference.
  • Keep any unused portion in a lidded container and store in the refrigerator.
  • The butter will cause the sauce to solidify when cold. To return to a smooth, silky sauce, set the container in a dish of warm water for a few minutes then whisk well.
