Yellow Mustard Pretzel Bites
From Scratch chef Kelly Pleadwell resolved the build-up of mustard jars in her fridge
with these tangy treats.
I get great satisfaction out of using ingredients from my fridge or pantry that would have otherwise gone to waste. We’ve all done it: bought something at the grocery store we thought we needed only to get home and realize we already had plenty. Somehow I have accumulated three bottles of yellow mustard. Yellow mustard is not an ingredient that goes fast in my house so it was time to think of creative ways to use it up. Of course, thanks to google I didn’t really have to think at all.
My Google search for “yellow mustard recipe ideas” led me mostly to marinades and dips. Then I came across a recipe for pretzel bites – pretzels and mustard are a perfect combo! Although traditionaly used as a dip, I decided to bake the mustard into the pretzels. This gave the pretzel bites a bold tangy flavour and an irresistible golden colour.
