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.
