You and katzcradul are both a national treasure. I'm so thankful for you both.

Hello Noreen. I'm from Berlin - Germany and always looking for a Ranch Seasons recipe. In Germany there is neither an instruction nor an original mixture to buy. That's why it's great to have finally found a guide here. Thank you , for this great and very well explained video. Many greetings from Berlin Annette💖👌😊

I know this is an older video, but I remember watching it from way back! I’m job shadowing for a local restaurant and I made “homemade” ranch for the first time last night! It’s just buttermilk, mayonnaise, and hidden valley ranch packets, but I thought of this video, so I came back to it!

Making chicken tenders & fried okra for Sunday supper tomorrow…my husband boohooing cause I didn’t have any ranch dressing mix…But now I do! Just made this & in the fridge. And you were right… I had all the ingredients! Your a life saver! Greetings from sunny California😎👏🏼🌞😋!

Thank you so much I just recently started watching your videos and love them all I am allergic to msg and miss eating tons of foods because of this but thanks to you I'm learning that I can make some of my favorites again I never thought possible, thank you so much you are amazing. Keep up the great work you never know when it could truly change someone's life.

Love the ranch dressing mix. I use it for some times pork breaded chops , breaded chicken . Thanks for showing how to make it.

My family loves this recipe. I made up a quart right after watching your video, and it makes so much sense to make a bigger batch. Since we love garlic, I added a bit more powder, and it also makes a great blue cheese dressing by tossing in some blue cheese crumbles when you mix up a batch.

Thank you❣ I've been looking for a blue cheese dressing recipe 🙆‍♀️ YAY❣🌿🌺🌿

I just made this with buttermilk powder as I didnt have any regular powdered milk, so I will keep it in the fridge, but man is this tasty stuff. I made a double batch of the powder and made a 2 cup batch of the ranch and my daughter (my taste tester) about took the jar and ran with it, lol. Love this. Cant wait to make ranch chops with it now.

This is one great recipe and a tremendous $saver! One tiny package of hidden valley ranch dressing costs 2.00 and has about two tablespoons in it. I had several things to make over the holidays and if not for this recipe I couldn’t have afforded to make them all. So thanks katzcradul and Noreen for sharing something I could make with every single spice already on hand. I enjoy your recipes Noreen and the way you explain everything!!

I use dry buttermilk powder. Makes ot even richer tasting.

No need. You prepare this with buttermilk. Dry buttermilk powder will shorten the shelf life and cause the dry mix to clump and harden much more quickly.

A receipe for this is such a handy time saver and tastes great. Money saver and keeper!

Hi Noreen, I love this recipe! I have a similar recipe that I received from my sister-in-law. We also use this ranch recipe for making a snack mix like Chex cereal snacks but we add quite a bit of different things like cereals, peanuts, cheetos, M&M's, pretzels (whatever you want to throw together, the sky is the limit)...anyway, we sprinkle the homemade ranch dressing in (however much you want) and a small bottle of Orville Redenbacher's popcorn oil and it is delish! Just thought I would share. Happy Cooking :)

Diabetic, had to omit the brown sugar. Great recipe for another pantry blend. I use it as seasoning for baked fish, chicken, califlowe etc. i've even used it to make dressing with Greek yogurt. I love your channel. I trust your cooking.

Making a few batches of this to individually pkg and give with a little bowl and spoon as Christmas gifts. Thanks for the recipe.

BEST IN THE WEST!!!!!! i've looked this up many times in the last few years even though I also wrote the recipe down, I like hearing Noreen and I need a big batch, THANKS Sooo much to you and Katzkradul!

Noreen, this recipe is awesome, Thanks for making the video for us ! I LOVE,LOVE all your videos, keep them coming! Jan

Can’t wait to try this! Having it this way will make my life so much easier!

This is a great Ranch recipe. Everyone loves it and I like being able to cut back on the salt.

hi thank you noreen. always looking for new coatings for my food. was dreading in case flour was in it. because am gluten free. can't wait to try. thank you much appreciated.

Hi Noreen. I really appreciate you posting this video. The ranch dressing I have come across here in AUS is more like watered down mayo with a few random herbs. My family love it but I think they are going to appreciate me making this for them. I never knew there was so many uses for the it in powdered form. Thank you :)

Awesome

I love this Noreen you are the BEST!!! Just took it off my Sam's list I have all these ingredients!!!

Just subscribed. Yours is the only ranch mix that has sugar...the original has sugar, it truly adds to the taste. Thank you.

I have all this in my cabinet right now. I'm making dressing!

Thank you! I will make bunches for Christmas jars!

Going to try this for sure Thank you. My husband only likes homemade ranch, well homemade dressing period!

I enjoy your videos. I've never made this . I didn't know that you could ! My problem with making ranch dressing is that I never have buttermilk at home. I saw a similar recipe using powder buttermilk. I'll substitute it for the the powder milk. Then I won't have to go to the store to buy buttermilk and thanks to you the packet. Ill have a jar if it !! thanks

Buttermilk powder is not recommended. It does not have the same shelf life and will clump and harden which the regular dry milk will not do. It is best to usr this as written. Also best to purchase buttermilk when planning to make it. I cannot guarantee a great outcome when subbing out ingredients.

Thanks for sharing. I have a recipe close to that. Instead I use plain greek yogurt and a little almond milk. It's good. You right that it does taste better the next day. :)

Thank you you make it fun learning from you

Thanks for the Video Noreen and Thanks for the Recipe Katzcradul. I have a question do you know what Panko crumbs are made of or how to make them?? Love to use those more then bread crumbs seem to stay a bit crispier. Thanks Again Love Both you guys videos Your Noreens and Katzcraduls as well.

I never buy buttermilk I just add a tsp of white vinegar to 1cup whole milk similar not the same but more likely to have on hand, you can use whatever milk you have except soy or almond but the higher fat content makes it creamy

yummy

I have used a recipe for years that is similar. I would love to try this to see if it's better, it probably is! My one question is.....does it thicken up? The recipe I use, the ranch stays on the runny side. My family wants it thicker, like the stuff that comes pre-made. Also, I use buttermilk powder. I wonder how that changes it?

Thank you so much for the recipe. I have a question. Can i use the nonfat dry milk. I cant find any whole fat

hi Noreen love this recipe. just one question. what's the difference between pink salt and regular salt?

@noreenskitchenchannel

7 жыл бұрын

I use Himilayan pink salt because it is a mineral salt. It contains more and higher mineral values because it is mined at the source, minimally processed and healthier for you. It is, in my opinion the best to use. Additionally, we find the Pink salt to be much saltier than highly processed table salt therefore you use much less to season your foods. Here is an article you may find helpful: www.livestrong.com/article/26690-health-benefits-himalayan-salt/ We never use sea salt anymore because of Fukushima nuclear melt down as well as the gulf oil spill and the massive tons of Corexit and other chemicals that were deposited there.

I normally don't have buttermilk on had but I do have the powder buttermilk can I use that if mixed with water like it says or reg milk?? Or can you use milk instead of buttermilk??

Noreen , I made this the other day using the exact measurements that you did .It only made a half of a quart jar . I did grind the milk in my coffee grinder. Well I added another cup of milk and more of the seasonings still didn't get a quart . That's 3 cups of the milk. I just can't figure out why it didn't make a full quart.It's no big deal I can make more when I have used this up ,just curious any ideas?

Can you omit the brown sugar?

I use regular buttermilk when making it using my mix which has powdered milk so there is no need to use powdered buttermilk. It shortens the shelf life and does not taste as good.

Hi Noreen love your recipes and you and your family. How long does the ranch dressing last once it's made and put in the fridge? Also, I am having trouble finding your new recipes and old ones, too. I look them up on your page and they are not there. I never had trouble before. Do you have them on your page or are you still doing them. Thanks

The recipe to make the dressing calls for buttermilk and mayo. So no need to switch out for buttermilk powder which is more expensive and will not have as long of a shelf life. I do not recommend this switch.This tastes much better than the store bought version.

I buy 1, 2 and 4 ounce portion cups as well as the lids in a separate sleeve. We usually go through 2 or 3 sleeves of the cups before we finish a sleeve of lids. But I like having the lids on hand for when I want to send dressing to school for a salad or some peanut butter to dip apple slices in. You can get them online from Webstarauant store.
