Mix together to dissolve the following ingredients. 1 cup of sugar, 2 cups of milk powder, 1 Tbsp butter, 3/4 cup of boiling water. cool Add 2 tsp dry mustard powder 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 cup of good malt vinegar. The longer it is left in the fridge the smoother this becomes. I sometimes take 1/2 a cup of this and add curry powder to taste, chopped chili, grated ginger, etc. To add a bit of variety. All ingredients to your own taste.

Mmm sounds good pickles, i make a big jar of the old boiled dressing up to keep in fridge, thin down as needed, but like the sound of the goodies you can add to this if you want,and the fact you can use milk powder also, thanks for sharing

Mix mustard, salt, pepper and sugar, add beaten eggs, then milk and lastly vinegar.Cook in a double boiler stirring till thick.

If I line a Tin for a Christmas Cake with Baking Paper do I still have to line the tin with Newspaper or Brown Paper! Appreciate your advice.

thanks for the recipes. I have used the mustard sauce left over from corned meat, as salad dressing, it was a good way to use it up. My Husband only likes the condensed milk recipe, but will use the whole egg mayo, on salad sandwiches. He may like the boiled dressings, they look good.
