While you can certainly buy ranch spice blend in the supermarket, we prefer to make our own. It just tastes fresher and we can fine-tune the seasoning exactly the way we like it.

Ingredients

　　1/3 cup/40 grams buttermilk powder

　　4 teaspoons/9 grams dried minced onion

　　4 teaspoons/9 grams garlic powder

　　2 teaspoons/12 grams fine sea salt

　　2 teaspoons/12 grams freshly ground black pepper

　　1/2 teaspoon/2 grams dried lemon peel granules

　　1/4 teaspoon/0.75 gram smoked paprika

　　1/4 teaspoon/0.5 gram cayenne pepper

　　1/4 teaspoon/0.5 gram dried parsley

　　Put the buttermilk powder in a small bowl. Combine the onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, lemon peel, paprika, cayenne, and parsley in a spice grinder or blender and grind to a fine powder. Add the spices to the buttermilk powder and whisk to combine. The spice blend can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.
