I finally got on the case to figure out a kitchen clone for this famous sauce—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 this McDonald's hot mustard recipe for dipping, use it for spreading...use it again and again, since you'll be making about a cup of the stuff.

I have consumed McDonald's hot mustard several times a week(before it was discontinued) from the time I was 10 years old (I'm now 30). I consider myself an expert on the taste;) and unfortunately, this doesn't taste like it at all. For those of you who haven't made it yet, the color, consistency, and taste is very similar to the hot mustard packets they give you in Chinese food restaurants. It's missing the tang and zing of McDonald's hot mustard, and tastes sort of...eggy?

I have made this. It is too sweet. Leave out the sugar and it will be even closer.
