Buttermilk Ranch Powder

I have searched and searched for a ranch powder recipe that tastes as good as the store bought kind and I think I've found it!

Read on for the recipe...


BUTTERMILK RANCH POWDER

2 T Minced Onion
2 T Dried Parsley
1 t Dried Celery Flakes
1/8 t Dill Weed

 Blend in spice grinder or blender ( I used mt coffee grinder) until desired consistency.

 Add:
1/4 c Buttermilk Powder (find it near the powdered milk)
1 1/2 t Garlic Powder
1/2 t White Pepper
1/8 t Black Pepper
1/4 t Paprika

Mix well and store in airtight container.
I don't add salt. You can if you want, but start with a dash and go from there. And I use more garlic than the original recipe. But I like garlic.

You can sprinkle this over potatoes, on chicken, whatever.
If you want to make a dressing, just use 2 cups each of mayonnaise and milk and blend til smooth.

I like to make crackers with it, too. Take the small oyster crackers and mix with 1/4 c sunflower or other light oil, and 2 T of the ranch powder then spread them out on a baking sheet. Bake at 250 for 10 minutes. Let cool and enjoy! So many possibilities!
