Spicy Creole Sauce

Step 1

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter stirring often (so it doesn't burn).

Step 2

Add the flour and stir until the butter and flour are fully mixed.

Step 3

Turn the temperature up to medium-low, then add the milk and continue to stir until the sauce is slightly thickened.

Step 4

Add the dry spices and stir well to incorporate. Allow the spiced sauce to simmer on medium-low, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the Tabasco sauce and vinegar and stir to combine. Continue to simmer the sauce on medium-low, stirring often, for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to sit for 2 or 3 minutes prior to serving.
