Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Dry mustard powder
• 3 tablespoons White distilled vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the dry mustard powder and granulated sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the sugar.

Step 2

Gradually stir in the water to make a smooth paste, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 3

Add the white distilled vinegar and salt to the mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and heat over low-medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning or clumping.

Step 5

Cook the mustard for about 4-5 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. The mustard will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mustard to cool completely.

Step 7

Transfer the hot mustard to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. For the best flavor, let it sit for at least 12 hours before serving.
