Colman's powdered mustard

WildRosie · 23-12-2012 03:30PM #1

Does anyone know where I can get Colman's powdered mustard? Have tried Tesco, SuperValu and a local deli. A sales assistant in SuperValu thinks its not made anymore, but that can't be, surely?

They had plenty of tins of Colman's powder in my local Dunnes yesterday. If that's any good to you.

Haven't heard about milk being added before. Taken from their website:

To make up Colman’s Powder Mustard, to serve as a simple condiment with food, only cold water should be used. Mix with equal quantity of water and allow 10 minutes standing time to allow the full flavour to develop. The water acts as a catalyst that helps yield the essential oil of mustard which produces that unmistakable taste.

I always get it in Dunnes, keep several tins of it on hand. Every time I roast a chicken, I dust mustard powder all over the skin of the chicken and then baste it several times during cooking. There is no hint of a mustard flavour by the time it's cooked but the skin is savoury and delicious and the pan residue makes gorgeous gravy. Nobody ever identifies mustard in the finished dish. I read this on a Colmans tin years ago and have been doing chicken this way ever since. I've even been known to scoop sneaky little spoons of that lovely pan residue during basting sessions, cook's priviledge IMHO!
