It seems like forever that I’ve been searching for a replacement for those expensive packets of dried Ranch dressing mix you can buy at the store. Finally, I’ve found the perfect one. And the nice thing about making the mix at home? I can tweak it a bit for my own tastes. For me that means a bit more dill.
Dried Buttermilk For That Great Flavor
This recipe for Ranch dressing mix requires dry buttermilk. I found it near the canned and powdered regular milk in our grocery store. Although it wasn’t cheap, it’ll make a very big batch of dressing mix. That’ll more than make up for the cost versus the packaged stuff.
