Magic Dust

There's a big shaker of Magic Dust next to the salt and pepper in my kitchen.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (120 ml) paprika
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) kosher salt, finely ground
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) mustard powder
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) chili powder
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) granulated garlic
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) cayenne

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients and store in a tightly covered container.
2. You'll want to keep some in a shaker next to the grill or stove. It keeps indefinitely, but won't last long.
