BLACK PEPPER BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the over to 450 degrees F.
• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, combine until ingredients are incorporated. Scatter the cold butter pieces over the top of the flour mixture and continue to combine until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and combine until the mixture just begins to come together.
• Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured counter. Pat the dough into a 10 by 12-inch rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Use a 3 inch round cutter to cut out the biscuits. Press together the scraps of dough, and repeat process. Place the biscuits on 2 baking sheets lined with parchment paper, brush the tops with cream and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake the biscuits for 12 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush the tops with the melted butter.

SPICY HOMEMADE DIJON-STYLE MUSTARD

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of the grape juice, the wine, vinegar, salt, pepper and shallot. Place over medium heat and cook until reduced by half. In another saucepan, simmer the remaining 1/2cup grape juice over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Place the mustard powder in the container of a blender. With the motor running, and using a fine-mesh sieve, strain the wine-and-juice reduction through the lid opening of the blender. Add the oil and blend for a few more seconds.
• Scrape the mustard into a bowl and let stand 1 hour. Correct the texture and seasoning by adding 1 teaspoon at a time of the reserved grape juice and a little honey. Keeps refrigerated for 1 month.

CHEF JOHN'S DIJON MUSTARD

Steps:

• Combine white wine, water, vinegar, onion, and garlic in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium low, and simmer until flavors combine, about 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature and pour through a strainer into a large bowl; reserve liquid and discard onions and garlic.
• Stir mustard seeds, dry mustard, garlic powder, and salt into strained liquid; cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let sit at room temperature until mixture thickens, 24 to 48 hours.
• Puree mustard mixture to desired consistency using a stick blender. Transfer mustard mixture to a saucepan and add water as necessary to reach a smooth consistency. Bring mustard to a simmer, reduce heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly, until flavors combine, about 10 minutes.
• Pack mustard into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Refrigerate mustard until flavors blend, at least 1 week.
