My wife loves French's mustard. To me it's meh. I prefer a spicier bite. I needed to buy mustard, but wasn't thrilled about the offerings and prices available at the store.
More than 30 years ago, I used to make my own sweet-tasting but spicy hot Dijon-style mustard. It was a simple recipe to throw together that spent a week in the fridge for the flavors and textures to blend. Unfortunately, that recipe has been lost to time and memory rewrites. I remember powdered mustard, malt vinegar, honey, and white pepper, but the rest is gone.
Last night around midnight I saw a recipe on YouTube for a simple spicy mustard. I literally got out of bed and threw together a small batch (5 mins) with personal tweaks and stuck it in the fridge. It's not exactly what I remember, because I didn't have malt vinegar, but it had the sweet spicy flavor I love. I'll tweak the recipe, but I'm done buying store-bought.
If you make your own mustard, share your recipe. Here's what I threw together in the old man wee-wee hours of the night.
English Mustard - Ray's Version
This is a VERY simple mustard to make. It has a bite like dijon. Any vinegar can be used. My first attempt was with Seasoned Rice vinegar. I added the honey and turmeric to the recipe.
Powdered ginger might be another nice addition.
Ingredients
½ cup Coleman's mustard powder
1 ½ Tbs sugar
1 tsp turmeric
½ tsp salt
2 Tbs Apple cider vinegar (or vinegar of choice)
1 ½ Tbs cold water (or white wine)
1 Tbs honey
Directions
Mix dry ingredients.
Whisk in wet ingredients until smooth.
Place in a glass or plastic container and store in the refrigerator.
Makes a little more than half a cup.
