Subject: Trying to make home made mustard from mustard seeds.
I have heard of delicious recipes of homemade mustard. How ever
I can't find a suitable formulae for this. I've got mustard seeds
and seasonings. Wish I could get a recipe to create something
fabulous for my friends. Thanks in any way that you can help me.
Doug
Hello Doug,
Well, you don't say which kind of mustard seeds you have. There are
two kinds, each called by two different names: "white" or "yellow"
mustard is used to make American style mustard, and "brown" or
"black" are used to make the more pungent French mustards.
You'll see a lot more recipes for homemade mustard that use
mustard powder than recipes that use mustard seed. Grinding
mustard seeds properly is an art, and if done incorrectly,
the powder will lose it's flavor. The process for grinding
mustard seeds with the least loss of flavor was invented by
a man named Coleman.
Below are some recipes that do use whole mustard seed, and one
that uses the powder.

Homemade Mustard
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 c Dry mustard -- Colemans
1/4 c White wine vinegar
1/3 c Dry white wine
1 tb Sugar
1/2 ts Salt
3 Egg yolks
You begin with dry mustard, adding vinegar for
tartness and wine for mellowness; then you cook with
egg yolks to give the spread its velvety smooth
texture. You can season the mildly flavored mustard as
suggested, or leave if plain.
For gift-giving, package the mustards in jars and
identify them with decorative labels. In top of a
double boiler, stir together mustard, vinegar, wine,
sugar, and salt. Let stand, uncovered, for 2 hours.
Beat egg yolks into mustard mixture. Place over
simmering water and cook, stirring with a wire whisk,
until mixture thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
Pour into small jars and let cool. Cover tightly and
refrigerate for up to a month. Makes about 1 cup.
TARRAGON MUSTARD: Follow recipe for Homemade Mustard;
when you remove mustard from heat, stir in 1/2 tsp dry
tarragon. Serve with roast lamb or chicken, shrimp,
steaks, or as a sandwich spread. TOMATO MUSTARD:
Follow recipe for Homemade Mustard; adding 1 tsp
paprika, 1 TBL drained and chopped pimento, and 1/4
cup tomato paste with egg yolks. Serve with seafood,
hamburgers, frankfurters, or baked ham. LIME MUSTARD:
Follow recipe for Homemade Mustard; when you remove
mustard from heat, stir in 3/4 tsp grated lime peel
and 1 1/2 tsp lime juice. Serve with roast lamb or
chicken, shrimp.

I emailed you some time ago asking about the coconut cake recipe from
Paul Prudhomme's restaurant K-Pauls. I did a bit more searching on
the internet myself and found it. I thought I'd send you a copy in
case someone else asks for it in the future. By the way, I gather
from the instructions that what Paul Prudhomme refers to as 'coconut
milk' is not coconut milk as used in Asian cooking, but the clear
liquid found inside coconuts.
Christine.
K-Paul's Coconut Cake
From the Prudhomme Family Cookbook
Coconut filling:
About 3 3/4 pounds fresh coconuts, or enough to yield 4 cups plus
2 tablespoons minced coconut meat, in all [be sure to reserve
coconut milk to make the glaze]
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 pound [2 sticks] unsalted butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cake:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1/2 pound [2 sticks] plus 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and cut into chunks
1 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Coconut-milk glaze:
1 1/2 cups reserved strained coconut milk [or a mixture of coconut
milk and water]
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting:
2 [3-ounce] packages cream cheese, softened
1/4 pound [1 stick] unsalted butter, very soft
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon evaporated milk
1 [1-pound] box powdered sugar, [in all four cups]
For the filling:
Drain the milk from the coconuts by carefully making a hole in each
of the three eyes of the coconuts with a clean, new, and large nail,
an icepick, or a sharp, very sturdy knife point. Strain the milk
through cheesecloth or through a fine mesh strainer lined with a
paper towel and measure out 1 1/2 cups; if necessary make up the
balance with water. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Break coconuts into small pieces with a hammer. Peel the pieces and
remove the brown inner skin attached to the white coconut meat. Rinse
and drain coconut meat well, then process it in batches in a food
processor until minced. You will need 4 cups minced coconut for the
filling, plus 2 tablespoons to garnish the top of the cake. Set aside.
[use leftover coconut as a snack or in another recipe.]
In a heavy 5 1/2 quart saucepan or large Dutch oven, heat together the
cream, sugar, and butter over medium-high heat until mixture reaches a
boil, stirring frequently. Add the four cups of minced coconut, stirring
well. Cook until mixture reduces to 5 cups, about 15 minutes, stirring
almost constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the cornstarch. Place
pan over high heat, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the
vanilla and cook and stir about 1 minute. Remove from heat and continue
stirring a few seconds more. Cool slightly, then refrigerate until well
chilled. Note: filling will decrease in volume as it cools. Once it is
chilled, measure yield and divide by 5 to determine amount to use between
cake layers. Keep refrigerated until just before ready to use.
For the cake:
In a medium-size bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt;
set aside. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the sugar and
eggs; beat on low speed until smooth, about 1 minute, pushing sides down
with a rubber spatula. Add the butter; beat on low until mixture is
creamy and light colored, about 3 minutes. Beat in the milk and vanilla.
Gradually add the flour mixture, about 1 cup at a time, beating after
each addition just until smooth and pushing sides down as needed. Then
beat on high speed for about 1 minute more, pushing sides down.
Spoon equal portions of the batter [a slightly mounded 1 cup] into six
8-inch round cake pans that have been greased and lightly floured.
Spread batter out evenly in the pans. Bake at 350 degrees F. on the
middle rack of the oven, 3 layers at a time, until centers spring back
when lightly pressed, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let
pans sit about 5 minutes, then loosen sides of cakes with a knife and
remove layers from pans to a wire rack. Bake the 3 remaining layers.
If re-using the same pans, first wash, re-grease, and lightly flour
them. Meanwhile make the glaze and frosting.
After the cake layers have cooled about 15 minutes, glaze one layer
by brushing glaze over the surface and on the sides with a pastry
brush, a little at a time and using one sixth of the glaze [about
2 1/2 tablespoons]. Make holes in the cake with a paring knife so
glaze can sink in. Immediately [before glazing another layer], spread
one fifth of the filling on top of the glazed layer, extending it to
about 1/2 inch from the edge. Then place another layer on top and
repeat procedure of glazing and spreading on filling until all the
layers are glazed and all but the top layer have filling spread on
them.
Let cake cool thoroughly, then frost top and sides. Sprinkle the
remaining two tablespoons minced coconut on top. Let sit 1 hour
before slicing.
Coconut-milk glaze:
Combine the coconut milk and the sugar in a 2-quart saucepan and
bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Continue
boiling until glaze reduces to 1 cup, about 5 minutes, stirring
frequently. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour into
a glass measuring cup and use glaze as directed in the recipe.
Makes 1 cup.
Frosting:
Combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and salt in a medium-size
bowl of an electric mixer; beat on high speed until creamy, about
1 minute. Turn speed to medium and beat in the milk and 1 cup of
the sugar, pushing sides down with a rubber spatula. Beat in the
remaining 3 cups sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing until smooth before
adding more. If the frosting becomes too thick for the mixer, do the
last bit of mixing with a spoon.

here is a recipe for great tasting bread that is better than many
because it is high in protein and uses almost all whole wheat flour
with some high pro gluten flour. I simply cannot work out the specs
but judge for yourself if this is not better than regular bread!
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (I use the pastry grind or grind it
myself--you can grind any kind of bean you like to throw in and make
it healthier)
1/4 cup gluten flour
3 teaspoons yeast
1 tea s salt
1/4 tea s baking soda
2 table s sugar
1 table s dried onion
1 table s dill seed
mix or throw in bread baker
add warmed
1 egg
1 cup non fat cottage cheese
2 table s canola or olive oil
1/2 to 3/4 cups water
Set bread baker on whole wheat setting, medium crust or just stir
it up (no kneading required)
If using loaf pan, bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to 1 hour,
check by tappng loaf top to sound hollow and it is nicely browned.
Cool and slice. Remember, you can add seeds of your choice. This
toasts as well. My theory is that the high pro count and w wheat
and gluten flour which is 73 to 80% protein makes this much better
than regular bread, never mind that it is heavenly tasting. It does
have carbs, my best guess is the same as ww bread but is so high in
protein and good oil that if you just have to have bread this is
better than regular. It can be made with white flour and full fat
cottage cheese but why ? short cycle on my DAK bread baker works also.
Don't want to knead up much gluten flour! I tried this with lots more
gluten flour and it turned into a rubber ball that lifted off the lid
of my machine. What a mess.
---------------------------------------------
Low-Carb Homestyle Oat Bread
2 packages rapid rise dry yeast
2 tsp. sugar
1 cup warm water
3 Tbs. oil
2 eggs, room temperature
1 cup vital wheat gluten
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup Wheat Protein Isolate
1/2 cup Oat Flour
1/2 cup Golden Flaxseed Meal
1/4 cup coarse unprocessed wheat bran
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. Splenda
Combine all of your dry ingredients into a bowl. Blend together
water, sugar, oil, and eggs and put in the bottom of your bread
machine. Add dry ingredients. Make a well and pour in the packages
of yeast. Set your machine for a 2 lb. loaf.
Okay: the key is to watch the dough as it mixes...after a while it
should form a ball..I changed Gabi's recipe as I had to add more
of the dry ingredients (I've noted the approximate amounts above).
However, if your dough is still too wet, then add more oat flour,
more flaxseed meal, or more wheat protein isolate until its forms
a ball. If it is too dry, then add more water and/or oil.
A Rye Variation
2 packages rapid rise dry yeast
1 tbls. sugar
2 tbls. sf maple syrup
1 cup water
3 Tbls. butter
2 eggs
1 cup vital wheat gluten
1/2 cup pecan meal
1/2 cup wheat protein isolate
1/2 cup rye flour
1/2 cup flax meal
1/4 cup wheat bran
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. caraway seeds
1 tsp. horseradish
Put ingredients in your bread machine according to your instructions.
Set machine for regular bread cycle.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Gabi's Bread - Original With Variations
Cut into 16 slices once cooled.
-------- ------------ ----------
2 tsp dry yeast
1 tsp sugar -- yeast food
1 1/8 cups warm water
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp splenda
3/4 cup gluten, wheat -- flour
1/4 cup oat bran -- flour
1/4 cup flax seeds -- meal
1/4 cup wheat bran
1 cup soy flour
In the bottom of your bread machine pan, mix the yeast, water and
sugar - this is a yeast starter, and it also lets you know if your
yeast is alive. That way, if your yeast is not alive (it's not bubbling)
you can make another batch before you add the rest of the ingredients
and you won't lose the whole bread.
Mix the rest of the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Add
the olive oil to the yeast/water/sugar mixture in the machine. Add the
dry ingredients. Set the machine to the Basic cycle (4 hour cycle on
most machines) and let 'er rip.
Check your own machines instructions for Gluten flour. You can also
remove the paddles after about 40 minutes then resume . the dough is
then not overworked.
Variations:
Reduce flax seed to 1/8 cup and add 1/8 cup of almond meal.
Caraway Seed: Add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp caraway seed
Rosemary: Add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp crushed Rosemary Leaves
_________________________________________________
It's about 4 carbs per 1/2 inch slice. It is dense but it taste a hell
of a lot better than that atkins bread. I made it from a recipe... it
didn't rise, and it taste like a sponge cake.

I would like to get a receipe for real Belgian waffles. I have a real
good source that says a true Belgian waffle receipe contains yeast.
Thank You
Bob
Hi Bob,
That's true. Authentic belgian waffle batter is not pourable, either. It's a stiff dough that is made into balls,
which are then put into the waffle iron. The most authentic recipe that I can find is here:
