How to Make Homemade Mustard

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1/4 cup white vinegar, and 1 large egg.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons yellow mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stir well.
  5. Repeat steps 4 and 5, microwaving for 2 minutes at a time and stirring well after each interval, until the mixture has thickened significantly (this will likely take 3-4 cycles).
  6. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon curry powder or cayenne pepper (optional, to taste).
  7. Pour the hot mustard into sterilized, sealable jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace.
  8. Once completely cool, seal the jars tightly and refrigerate. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
