Sort of. I use the same ingredients, but I "eyeball" the amounts. I
likes what I likes and I like Comfort Food deviled eggs like my mother
made 'em. You got a problem with that, girlie?

I prefer the prepared mustard, although "preferred" is probably a
stretch, as I've never tried dried mustard. I just don't like the idea
of putting a dry ingredient into something I want plenny wet, Loosey.
As to the vinegar, it's a small proportion that adds, IMHO, a little
zip to the DE.

Cookin next weekend and I'm not doing deviled eggs. I'm leaning toward
Mexican...wish you could be here. I did mention the spare bedroom???
