Basic Mustard Recipe Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mustard powder
• 3 tablespoon water
• 5 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation Instructions

For mild mustard, combine the water and vinegar and bring to a boil, then mix in the dry ingredients. Use cold liquids for hotter mustard. For variations, try substituting a dry white wine or lemon juice in place of the water. Mustard can be any type: mild, regular or oriental. Add whole or crushed mustard seeds after completing the basic recipe. They adsorb a lot of liquid. If extra liquid is needed, consider using vinegar first.
