COMMON MUSTARD.

556. One table spoonful of ground mustard,
One tea spoonful of sugar,
One salt spoonful of salt.

Mix the salt, sugar, and mustard together, and then pour on some boiling water gradually, stir it with a horn spoon or knife till it is quite smooth. Some like it quite thick, others prefer it so thin as to run on the plate.
