Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of vinegar?
Yes, you can substitute apple cider vinegar with white wine vinegar or rice vinegar for a milder flavor. Each type of vinegar will slightly alter the taste, but they will still yield a delicious mustard. Experiment to find your preferred flavor profile.
Is it necessary to use eggs in this recipe?
The eggs help to thicken the mustard and add richness. If you're looking for an egg-free version, you could use a cornstarch slurry instead. However, this may change the texture slightly, so adjust cooking times accordingly.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the mustard?
You can easily modify the sweetness by reducing the amount of brown sugar or using alternative sweeteners like agave nectar or stevia. Taste as you go to achieve your desired level of sweetness without compromising the mustard's flavor.
