Whether you can substitute Dijon for dry mustard depends on what you are making. It obviously isn't going to work in a recipe for a dry rub on meat, for example, but if there are other wet ingredients, it might be fine. If you try and substitute Dijon, or any other wet kind of mustard for the dry, you will need quite a bit more. The ratio is 3 to 1. So one teaspoon of dry would be 1 tablespoon of Dijon. Or 1/4 teaspoon dry would be 3/4 teaspoon Dijon. This is what I thought from having to substitute it in recipes myself, and that is also what I found online. Everybody online agrees that if you don't have Dijon either, you can use stone ground or yellow. If you need it for a dry spice blend or rub, they all say you are out of luck.

When you don't have sighted help around all the time, I just went ahead and bought the more expensive item. A 4-ounce tin of dry mustard will last a long time, after all, you don't use more than a teaspoon or so in a recipe. $1.45; I will have to ask my new assistant if she can find a cheaper dry mustard elsewhere. Right now, though, Amazon is just about the best I can do for some of my stuff.
