How to Make Dijon Mustard

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup dry mustard powder, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Whisk vigorously until completely smooth and creamy. The mixture will thicken as it sits.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tang, or salt/pepper to taste.
Let the mustard sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For a stronger flavor, let it sit for several hours or even overnight in the refrigerator.
