Elevate Your Condiment Game: Homemade Spicy Yellow Mustard

Are you tired of relying on store-bought condiments? With a few simple ingredients, you can create your own delicious and spicy yellow mustard at home.

The Science Behind the Heat

Mustard seeds contain allyl isothiocyanate, an oil that gives them their pungent flavor and heat. However, this oil dissipates over time, which means the longer the mustard sits, the less spicy it becomes. This recipe ensures maximum flavor and heat by using a unique cooking method.

A Flavorful Twist on a Classic

This spicy yellow mustard is perfect for dipping soft pretzels or smearing on a grilled cheeseburger. The addition of paprika and turmeric gives it a unique flavor profile that will elevate any dish.

Get Started with These Simple Ingredients

• 1/4 cup ground mustard (such as Colman’s)
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
• 1/8 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon turmeric

A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Own Mustard

1. Combine the Magic Ingredients: In a medium heatproof, nonreactive bowl, whisk together the ground mustard, sugar, and salt.
2. Add the Egg and Whisk: Add the egg and whisk until smooth.
3. Add the Vinegar and Spices: Add the vinegar, paprika, and turmeric, and whisk until combined.
4. Chill and Wait: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
5. Heat and Whisk: Fill a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water and bring it to a bare simmer over low heat. Remove the plastic wrap from the mustard mixture, place the bowl over the simmering water, and cook, whisking constantly, until the mustard mixture has thickened to the consistency of olive oil (about 8-10 minutes).
6. Cool and Store: Transfer the mustard to a nonreactive container with a tight-fitting lid, cool completely, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

With this simple recipe, you’ll be enjoying your own homemade spicy yellow mustard in no time!
