Mustard Recipes, Substitutions, and Cooking Tips

Mustard inhibits the growth of yeast


When the volume as well as the flavor of mustard is important to your recipe:
Mix 1 Tablespoon dried mustard, 1 teaspoon vinegar, 1 teaspoon cold water, and 1 teaspoon sugar to equal 1 Tablespoon of prepared mustard. Let stand 15 minutes to develop flavor and heat before adding to recipe. Sugar can be omitted but the result will be much hotter.

For additions to wet mixtures: 1 teaspoon dried mustard = 1 Tablespoon prepared mustard

Mustard Cooking Tips and Hints

• If your recipe calls for dark mustard seeds, you will be disappointed by substituting white ones. The flavor is truly that different, like night and day, and substitution is not recommended. When used whole in canning and preserving, the seeds do not impart a sharp mustard flavor, but add a nice, mild aroma.

• In India, the seeds are often toasted until they split open much like popcorn does. Beware overcooking the seeds as they will burn and turn bitter.

• Since heat causes the pungent flavor of mustard to dissipate, mustard is generally added near the end of the dish and gently heated.

• When adding mustard to baked goods, know that it will inhibit yeast growth, thus requiring longer rising periods. Use your imagination when adding mustards to recipes, but go easy and taste along the way. You can always add more, but there is no fix for going overboard.

Welsh Rabbit Recipe

Today is Welsh Rarebit Day. The 'Fluffy Bunny Brigade' need not have a fit with this "Rabbit" recipe Rabbit, Not Rarebit The on ce-famous Welsh rabbit (please don’t call it “rarebit”) is a very old formulation. There isn’t much agreement on how Welsh rabbit might have gotten its name, but our favorite story is that sharp cheese melted into ale or beer, served over crisp toast, was a substitute for meat when the men had been unsuccessful in their hunting that day. It was left to the women to fix a meal, and we wouldn’t doubt, some clever woman came up with the name. Welsh rabbit is similar to fondue, except that the melted cheese is poured over toast instead of dipping bread chunks into a pot of melted cheese. Serves 2 2 tablespoons/29g butter 2 tablespoons/16g all-purpose flour 1/3 cup/80ml milk 1/2 cup/125ml beer or ale 1 teaspoon/5ml dry mustard 1/4 teaspoon/1ml each cayenne pepper and paprika 1 teaspoon/5ml Worcestershire sauce 1-1/2 cups...

Duchess of Bedford, Creator Of Afternoon Tea

Afternoon tea is a traditional British meal taken in mid-afternoon. It consists of a pot of tea plus finger sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, cakes and pastries. Here are two noteworthy points about afternoon tea. The concept was inadvertently created by Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, in 1840. As the main meal of the day shifted from midday (luncheon) to evening, English high society didn’t dine until 8 p.m. The hungry duchess needed something to tide her over during the stretch between lunch and dinner, and ordered tea with small sandwiches to be brought to her room. Over time, her friends joined her, and “afternoon tea” expanded from her circle to all of society—an elaborate social and gustatory affair with sweet and savory delicacies, special “tea cakes,” and even tea gowns to bridge the fashion gap between casual afternoon and formal evening dress. The custom spread downstream and tea rooms and tea gardens opened to serve tea to all classes. Afternoon tea is ...
