Ingredients You'll Need
To whip up about half a cup of this sweet-and-spicy honey mustard sauce, gather these ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for a sharp, tangy kick)
- 2 tablespoons Scotch Bonnet Chilli Honey (for that sweet-heat burst)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (optional, for an extra tangy touch)
- Pinch of salt, to taste
- Splash of water to adjust the consistency, if needed
Step-by-Step Guide
Making this sauce couldn’t be easier. Here’s how to do it:
1. Combine the Base Ingredients
Start by adding the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Scotch Bonnet Chilli Honey to a small mixing bowl. The mayonnaise lays the creamy foundation, while Dijon mustard adds a tangy, zesty note.
2. Balance the Flavours
Taste as you go. If the sauce feels too sweet, add a small splash of apple cider vinegar to balance it out with acidity. Love extra heat? Drizzle in a tad more Scotch Bonnet Chilli Honey. Want more creaminess? Add a teensy bit more mayo.
3. Season and Adjust Consistency
Sprinkle in a small pinch of salt to bring all the flavours together. If the sauce is thicker than you’d like (depending on what you’re using it for), add a few drops of water and mix again until you achieve your desired consistency.
4. Taste and Perfect
Good cooks taste as they go, and this sauce is no exception. Adjust the flavours until you find that perfect sweet-heat harmony!
