Homemade Honey Dijon Mustard - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups mustard powder
3/4 water

Pour reduced liquid through a strainer into the prepared mustard/water paste; whisk or stir till smooth.
Cook mixture over med-low heat, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened (the mixture will thicken more as it cools).
Stir in the honey.
Let cool completely.
