Old Bay Copycat Recipe

Old Bay Copycat Recipe

• 1 tablespoon bay leaf powder  
• 2 tablespoons celery salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon mace
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom

Combine ingredients and store in an air tight container. Every year my local grocery stores run out of Old Bay seasoning during the holidays. Since I make my gumbo from scratch anyway, I decided it was easier just to make my own Old Bay. Let me know what you think.
