Note
Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a thicker consistency, let the sauce sit for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the dry mustard to absorb some moisture.
Adjust the heat level by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes if you prefer a spicier sauce.
