If this one sounds like too much, you can cut the recipe in half.
Pulled Pork Finishing Sauce
4 T Flour
4 T Sea Salt
1 T Coarse Black Pepper
1 T Cayenne
4 T Paprika
1 t sugar
2 T Cornstarch

Mix all dry ingredients. Add small amounts of water at a time until paste forms. Add remaining water and vinegar. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Soflquer has a great pulled pork finishing sauce in the sauce section. It has been made a stickie and rightly so imho. Give it a try. I'm certain it will make your Q taste just like you want it to. It's the best I have tried.
