How to Make Irish Mustard Sauce

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, 1 teaspoon salt.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1 cup cold water until smooth.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a simmer. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar, and 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large egg yolks.
  7. Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking a few spoonfuls of the hot sauce into the eggs. This prevents the eggs from scrambling.
  8. Gently pour the tempered egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the remaining sauce.
  9. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1-2 minutes. Do not boil.
  10. Serve warm. Enjoy!
