Ingredients
¾cupyellow dry mustard
1teaspoonkosher salt
½teaspoonground turmeric
1/4teaspoongarlic powder
1/4teaspoonpaprika
1cupcold water
½cupwhite distilled vinegar
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the yellow dry mustard, kosher salt, ground turmeric, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Slowly add the cold water to the dry ingredient mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth paste forms. Whisking gradually prevents lumps from forming.
Once the paste is smooth, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Allow the mixture to sit at room temperature for at least 10 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together.
After the resting period, transfer the mustard mixture to a small saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and add the white distilled vinegar.
Cook the mustard mixture, stirring constantly, until it reaches a gentle simmer. Continue cooking and stirring for an additional 5 minutes. The heat helps to thicken the mustard and develop its flavors.
After 5 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mustard cool down to room temperature.
Once the yellow mustard has cooled, transfer it to a clean jar or airtight container. Seal the container tightly and store it in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using. This resting period allows the flavors to fully develop and mellow.
Your homemade yellow mustard is now ready to use! Enjoy it as a condiment for sandwiches, hot dogs, burgers, or any dish that calls for a tangy, flavorful mustard.
Notes
The mustard will continue to develop its flavor over time, so feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste after the initial resting period. Remember to store it in the refrigerator and consume it within a reasonable time frame.Yield: Approximately 1 cup of yellow mustard
