White Lightning BBQ Sauce Recipe
Our family, including our beloved Grandma Lorraine, who famously told us that “there’s not much in life that can’t be made better with butter,” has made developing the perfect batch of butter our family legacy. This goal is more than 125 years in the making, a passion passed on from generation to generation, including our children, who make up generation six.
The end result is a line high butterfat butter in multiple, dreamy flavors, from sea salt butter to the garlic herb variety.

1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 lb. Minerva Dairy Smoked Maple Wood Butter (Substitute Sea Salt Butter if unavailable)

1 tsp. Louisiana-style hot sauce (optional)
Cooking Steps
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, stir together Dijon mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, and beer. Add chili powder, black pepper, white pepper, and cayenne pepper. Bring to simmer. Mix in Worcestershire sauce, Minerva Dairy Smoked Maple Wood Butter, and Moonshine* (away from flame) and simmer for 15-20 more minutes.
