Add the 1 1/2 cups water, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally; for 30 minutes.

Add the salt, sugar, Tabasco, and black pepper, and stir to mix. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Take the egg yolk and, with the tips of your fingers, grab the white nodule that is located around it, slip the pocket off, and let the yolk fall into a small bowl. Beat the yolk, then add the flour and beat again to blend. Add 1 tablespoon of the liquid from the bean pot and whisk to blend. Slowly add the mixture to the pot and stir. Cook for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and serve.
