Time 5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 c. Dry Buttermilk Powder (See Note)
1 tbsp. Dried Parsley
2 tsp. Dried Dill Weed
1 tsp. Freeze Dried Chives
1 tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 tbsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Sea Salt
1/2 tsp. Ground Black Pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk all ingredients to combine. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.Notes:1. When you purchase buttermilk powder at the store, it is found on the shelf, often in the baking section or near the powdered milk. 2. Storage: the brand of buttermilk powder I use (Saco) recommends refrigerating the powder once opened. In my experience, the powder stores for at least 2 months in the refrigerator, as long as you keep it in powder form. If you mix the powder with sour cream or other liquid products, use within 5 days.
