Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons celery salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/8 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon ground bay leaves ~13 bay leaves ground up
Instructions
- If you don't have ground bay leaves, grind them in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
- Combine all the ingredients and stir to mix thoroughly.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Ground spices can lose their potency pretty quick. Use the freshest.
- Store the mix in an airtight container and keep it in a dark place. Light can cause spices to break down.
- Give the Old Bay a rub between the fingers when adding to the recipe. It will help release the oils from the spices and bring out the flavor.
- Try using sweet or smoked paprika for a little flavor variation.
- If you don't have celery salt, use a combination of celery seed and salt.
