A very hot dry mix built on cayenne, chili powder and black, white and lemon pepper. Sprinkle it on cooked food or use it as a dry rub with a little oil.

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dark or light brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper

Directions

  • Put all the spices and the brown sugar in a small bowl.
  • Stir until the color is uniform and no sugar lumps remain; break up any hardened brown sugar first.
  • Pour into a clean, dry jar, zip-top bag, or vacuum-seal bag.
  • Close tightly and keep in a cool, dry place away from heat and light.

Notes

Start with about 1/4 teaspoon per serving on cooked food. Dry rub: 1 tablespoon mix with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil to coat about 1 pound of meat or vegetables. Airtight, cool, dry cupboard; within 6 months. This mix is very hot.
