English Mustard From Scratch
"This recipe calls for brown and yellow mustard seed; however, it also requires some mustard powder. I would think that you can grind enough mustard seed to give you 1 cup of powder, using it as directed. Maybe a mix of brown and yellow depending on how sharp you prefer the mustard."
