Ingredients
¼ cup kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 Tb smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon white granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, to prevent caking)
Place all ingredients in a spice or coffee grinder and pulse until finely ground and thoroughly combined (it’s essential that the ingredients are ground finely in order to pour out of the shaker in an even ratio). Store in an airtight jar in a dark, cool place. Will keep for several months.
Makes about 1/2 cup.
