I finally got on the case to create a McDonald's hot mustard sauce copycat recipe—as it turns out, it's an easy hack. Dried mustard mixes it up with sweet and sour flavors in a saucepan over medium heat. Cornstarch thickens and stabilizes, and a little habanero pops in for the perfect spicy punch. Use it for dipping, use it for spreading...use it again and again, since you'll be making about a cup of the stuff.

You ca be sure I'll be making this from now on, seeing McD's has discontinued it this spring. Of course it was much easier to just order it with the nuggets. Will have to plan my outings around making the sauce now.
