German Style Sweet Mustard (Süßer Senf)
Süßer Senf is a sweet and sharp Bavarian-style mustard that you can make from a handful of pantry staples. Dry ground mustard is mixed into a paste with water, and the vinegar goes in last so the mustard keeps its flavour. A wire whisk keeps it smooth. It tastes better after it has cooled and rested, which makes it a good make-ahead spread for sandwiches and crackers.
Instructions
Put the dry mustard in a bowl with the sugar, salt and pepper, and stir the dry ingredients together until evenly combined.
Stir in some water to make a paste. The source gives no amount, so add it gradually and judge by the texture.
Add the vinegar last. Mustard loses some of its flavour if the vinegar goes in too early.
Whisk with a wire whisk until the mustard is smooth and free of lumps.
If the mustard looks too thick, whisk in a little more water until it reaches the consistency you like.
Let the mustard cool and sit for a while before using it, since it improves as it ages.
Make it personal.
