Original 1914 recipe
Verbatim from the first edition of the Big Cookbook.

Erken's simple salad mustard from 1914: dry mustard powder is stirred out with cold water until it drips slowly from the spoon, with 1 tsp salt per tbsp of mustard powder. A sharper version with wine vinegar, cayenne, and a little sugar; a milder version stirred out with cream instead of water.

From the introduction to the salad chapter, under "Additions to Salads," where Erken reviews oil, vinegar, and mustard. "Sarepta" mustard was a common brand of dry mustard powder sold around 1914.
Mix mustard and salt
Measure out dry mustard powder and mix in 1 tsp salt for every tablespoon of mustard powder. The salt improves the flavor and keeps the mustard from drying out so quickly.
Stir out
Stir the mustard out with cold water, a little at a time. It has the right thickness when it just barely drips slowly from the spoon.
Sharp version
If you want a sharper mustard, stir it out instead with a little wine vinegar and add cayenne pepper and a pinch of sugar.
Mild version
If you want a milder mustard, stir it out with cream instead of water.
Chill
Let the mustard stand a few minutes so the flavor develops, and use it in salad dressing or as an accompaniment.
Dry "Sarepta" mustard is given as mustard powder. Quantities are estimated from the ratio of 1 tsp salt per tbsp mustard powder that Erken gives. A "knife point" of sugar is converted to a pinch. The language of the method is modernized.
